Though we’re getting ever nearer to the launch of Destiny 2, one thing bizarre is occurring on Steam that issues the primary Destiny.
The recreation’s Silver, a real-money forex that allows you to purchase emotes and different objects, has popped up on Steam’s database. The authentic recreation was by no means introduced for PC, in fact, so it’s very curious that somebody, someplace is testing the identical recreation’s microtransactions on Steam.
NeoGAF members noticed this earlier, revealing a protracted record of updates to the identical Steam database app. The most up-to-date one befell on August four.
What’s extra, there are literally two hyperlinks you should utilize to buy Silver, one for $0.01, and one other for $20, the latter will get you 2000 Silver.
The pages look very legit, and aside from charging cash, they reference Bungie and the Eververse Store in a approach that means whoever created them both works for the developer, or has entry to the studio/builders.
Bungie lately ended help for the primary Destiny, so it’s doubly weird that is exhibiting up now, contemplating Destiny 2 won’t even be on Steam.
It’s most likely greatest to not learn an excessive amount of into the listings, even when it’s tempting to suppose that Activision is planning to launch some model of the primary Destiny on Steam. Entries for Halo 1-Three have been discovered on Steam’s database way back, and nothing got here out of that.
While sure, that is extra tangible than the Halo database entries, it nonetheless doesn’t affirm something. Activision might merely be testing the implementation for another recreation, or as a part of a plan to convey Destiny 2 to Steam in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later.
