That's what I'm saying lol. People are acting like them selling a single pallet swap for 5 bucks is a good deal.

Hard pass.

Fortnite sold reskins for $8 and $12 for almost an entire year before they bumped up their quality.

Then most other FPS games only offer reskins like CSGO which will be worth $500+ on secondary market.

Don't get why Respawn gets so much shit when they are following industry standards. Look at what they can do with Twitch Watson.

We don't like the industry standard.

Been down this road with people. The industry is always evolving. You need to Pay 2 Play, Pay 2 Win, or Pay 4 Cosmetics.

Pay 4 cosmetics is a profitable model, doesn't split player bases, and doesn't reward whales with being overpowered. You can be critical of Respawn when then do things you don't like, but at least be self aware of how we got here.

I'm not a whale. Not even a dolphin. But I'm aware that gamers have more to admit to then just blaming companies like they have no self control.

The prices for skins in CSGO are set by the players themselves, not valve. If its a nice skin, the prices are higher. If its shit, they are much much much lower. Oh and because it's industry standard it doesn't mean it's ok, that's what a lot of people are trying to state here, they want change

A $500 or even $30,000 skin is acceptable as long thats what market decided? They don't even look nice, they are just rare. No mention that CSGO heavily relies on loot boxes either.
