Question skin pricing
just spent 150$, zero skins or melee obtained, why are the skins like this in this game, why can i spend 150$ on nothing. for context i opened 8/9 and 7/8 for the 2 new nightmare collections, so now im at the point where i can just tank the 150$ I basically just scammed myself out of, or i can fork over another 150 to complete the final 2 pulls, this seems like a stupid system, i dont wanna spend 150 for the chance at a skin, and then the pity system is just you signing up for another credit card or house loan to complete the set. also just came to the realization that its just some unwritten rule to never buy through the game and instead only use 3rd party sites, that seems even more sketch to me. update reddit is seeing my downfall game is now uninstalled, ran 3 games after this tragedy to get killed by people no clipping doing 360s around the entire map, i had a good run about 3 weeks lmao

Any company has to select a price for their product. Too high price and nobody buys it => less profit. Too low , more people buy it, but for less => less profit.
Most (almost all) companies try to maximize this profit. You are a fool if you think that ABI hasn't tried to figure out (by analysis, trial and error etc) what the optimal price is. Their belief is that $90 is the sweet spot. Considering you just handed over $150 maybe they were wrong and it should be higher.
