Activision on The Coexistence of Destiny's Microtransactions and Expansions

Destiny's community is "hungry for more great content."

During an earnings call, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said that Destiny players can expect more expansions and microtransactions in the future.

"I think they're already co-existing," Hirshberg said in response to an analyst's question. "We had a full year of expansions to the game that have been very well received and sold quite well. More recently, you've seen us introduce smaller, in-game purchases that allow people to customize their experience and express themselves; those have been very well received and have sold well also. I think we've already shown that DLC and microtransactions can co-exist and that our community is hungry for more great content."

The analyst also asked if Destiny was changing its business model to favor microtransactions over paid expansions.

"As far as any shifts in strategy, I don't have any announcments today, but I think we have a lot of options at our disposal," he said. "And the reason for that of course is that we have such great engagement with this game."

Destiny also reached reached 25 million registered players recently.
