League of Legends is getting a 250 Dollars Arcane skin, and it’s not going down well | “Very uncool thing to do almost immediately after you fired a bunch of people,” reads one comment on the post announcing the skin.

Why am I reading post title about some random comment on another post.
I mean… Both actions indicate that they need more money.
Both actions are shitty, too. $250 skins are uncool even when they didn’t fire a bunch of people.
Is the news that this game has shitty practices? Because that’s not new…
Except sales (and not comments) of said skin will determine if it is “not going down well”.
Stop play this brainwash game ( I’ve been under it) .
Giving Star Citizen a run for its money
Technically it’s an *up to* $250 skin.
It’s a $5 lootbox, and if you spend $250 (80 spins) on it then they just give the best item to you.
Not sure how devs are still getting away with gambling in 2024.
Feel the burn
I’m confused, is someone forcing people to buy skins?
Or is this just children complaining because they can’t dress up their dolls.
Macro-transactions
Americans could just make bullshit like that illegal if they stopped voting for the center and the right.
Ppl getting mad over the price of cosmetics is their own problem. It’s a fucking cosmetic, resist the urge of needing to have every single skin.
I’ve been saying it for years: people have no fucking clue how far the rabbit hole goes. Mark my words in 10 years we’ll have ultra premium skins going to 1k or more. Limited run. Limited ownership.
As people spend more and more time in digital spaces those spaces become the defacto places to express wealth. People buy ultra luxury items for 100s of thousands of dollars. Gaming is no different. Instead of seeing a Ferrari you’ll see some tech dude with a 1k skin that only 100 people own.
And yeah you’ll say the same stupid shit under your breath “bet he has a small dick” or whatever. It won’t matter. The flex will be the flex.
While I won’t be buying, if people have this money to waste fair enough. Clearly these sell enough to warrant the design teams time. It it what is it, not saying I agree or disagree, it just… is.
Riot took a look at what people in Diablo Immortal are spending on skins.
Playerbase is going to complain, but enough people aren’t going to care and buy the skin anyways.
Some losers somewhere will pay to get this. It’s their entire identity after all. Games.
Man y’all can complain but they do this because they have the metrics and data that people will buy it.
