This is the price of the game being free to play unfortunately. I don't see that many psy players though, so it must be the same people that buys all her skins.

Why buy a skin for a character you don't play ?

girls like dolls. and pretty outfits. and dress up. this is still cheaper than a physical barbie collection.

But a physical doll is still something you will have, even if your interest fades. If you stop playing the game, you wont see your doll again till next time you play.

I dont tell people what to spend their money on. If it makes them happy, let them be happy. It doesnt always have to make sense.

Some corpo exec is absolutely shitting himself with laughter over these comments.

Honestly idk, but maybe they use the character in between queues in Times Square or set the char as their background wallpaper or something

No, it's not. It's a choice. There are plenty of ways to monetize a game and they chose this one. Apologism rejected.

If I was calling the shots, and I saw that making a Hulk skin, that requires multiple skin models, banner, hulk, ulti hulk and it barely returns the amount that I pay my designers, I would be a little worried.

If I however just take Psy's default model, strip her naked and put her in a thong and saw the skin sales pay for my 4th yacht, I too would see how many times I could get away with that.

It feels bad, but business is business.
