Can someone explain the logic behind spending money for "skins" in Fortnite

[Batsute]

I dont fukk with Fortnite but this entire thread sounding hella.

I'm fine with them charging for stuff like this in a free game honestly. I'll throw them 10 bucks for something stupid like a new character because I feel like they deserve it for not being on that EA micro transaction bullshyt.

When they be charging for pointless shyt like clothes in a 60 dollar game is where they got me fukked up.

Playing money for some shoes in 2k?

I barely play the game but noticed that my lil cousin has literally spent hundreds on what are essentially just clothes on an Avatar. No new maps, guns, no DLC character with a new set of moves or unique gameplay modes are given to you for coming out of your pocket. Just clothes, dressup.

This sh1t is definitely the fidget spinner of 2018/19. I'll never fully comprehend the actions of people who spend more than $5-10 on a free game. She could have literally bought several games with the money invested in skins

You late... Fortnite making $300 mil a month off skins

I much prefer skins vs shyt like nba 2k

It's just cosmetic items man you looking way too deep into it.

The skins are fun and some are creative. The pricing is outrageous but it's just a fun addition to the game.

So it's a status symbol that doesn't give u a competitive edge in any way possible?

it gives some a competitive edge in that it scares people because they knew they paid dough for it. especially if its an old skin then they know you've been playing for a long time AND been investing..could mean you're really good...or just have access to a parents cc.

Try to not understand why people want to look clean instead of default, brehs.

They look better.

It’s kinda like buying cloths for yourself in real life. Your virtual self is sometimes viewed more by others than your real life self. Gotta look clean

U get p*ssy off looking clean irl...in fort nite it gets you nothing

Try to not understand that you're spending real money to "look clean" for people you don't even know, on a video game, brehs

 

[daze23]

dudes probably look like bums IRL cause they spent all their money on video game outfits

We're talking about literally handfuls of quarters. Keep though

nikka I know it costs $7-9 for enough Vbucks to buy an outfit. Don't play stupid. That's a few hands full of quarters for ONE outfit

 

[Dre Space Age]

I'm considering buying one outfit but so far these designers have horrible superhero fashion sense.

a roll of quarters is $10 nikka. The fukk are we talking about here? One roll of quarters is a few hands full?

Keep cooking breh.

So you went from "handfuls" to "rolls" of quarters...keep making yourself look foolish, though
