DLC skin prices are out of control (PUBG)

Yeah It's called irony.
Since I've hit 39 it's a concept I'm begining to grasp.
Come on dude. It's a cringy comment about a cringy commercial move. Relax.
Pretty much. It's more and more obvious that the crusade isn't against "predatory microtransactions" but the crusade is against "paying money" at all. This is a known product, it shows you exactly what it is, for how much, no luck, no bullshit, and people are STILL complaining.
Just to be a pedant here, it's not irony. It's sarcasm.
This rise up shit meme is being used in every single thread where even the faintest smell of corporate criticism rears its head. It's fucking obnoxious and is often used to stifle criticism. Not saying that was your goal mind you.
Besides the price being a bit high, I don't have a problem with this. It's cosmetic, so you don't need it and it's not locked behind random loot boxes.
Always cracks me up when people think loot boxes going away means 5 dollar skins
Heroes of the storm sold ab Arthas skin that was just him without the helmet
12 dollars
Jesus.
The only game I've played with skins of comparable prices is Path of Exile, which I feel gets away with it because:

- It's F2P
- It's a staggeringly massive game in terms of content
Yeah indeed you're pedant.
You're giving way too much importance to this shitty meme.
Because I'm old (and not 12), I wasn't even aware of its existence until a few weeks back.
This meme is just cringy shit.
I know.
Then i don't see what your problem with my initial post is. It's clearly 4chan shit which was the only point i made. Seems like i was accurate.
Yeah pretty much, POE deserves the money thou I played more than 2000 hours without paying a single cent...
I've never bought a skin, and I never will. I refuse to be another open bank account for these companies to get rich on. Map packs or expansions is where I draw the line.
What's wrong with her everything? This has gotta be the most embarrassing attempt at a skin I've ever seen.
don't worry my dude
you are a risen gamer
more proof we definitely live in a society
that's supposed to be a dudebro dressed up like Harley Quinn, right? so that looks about right.
Yeah, I'll never get the outrage over OW loot boxes. Some other games? absolutely. but you can get any skin you want in OW for 20 bucks with the coins it gives you, with a chance of just getting it outright, and guaranteed getting a shitload of other stuff. Getting the gold got a bit harder with the dupe changes, but it also makes getting the thing you want easier, and makes it guaranteedly easier over time.
More on point with OP, it's both a really outlandish and cool skin for pubg, and it's licensed. Seems pricey to me but also not like, ridiculous.
It's a set of cosmetics for your own custom character. In this screenshots it's applied to a male one
You just lost your prominent member status after that one. Sorry.
If it's overpriced, then don't buy it.
OPs like this just reinforce my thesis that a lot of gamers don't hate MTX out of principle but because they don't want to pay the price that the market will support.
Personally, I like OW's loot boxes since you get everything for free if you play long enough while they still get paid by people that don't want to wait. Best of both worlds. If they let you buy stuff individually, I'd still be a free player as long as there's the option.

What's the problem with this?
There was nothing wrong with that either.
Of course it's greed. Everything these companies do is based around greed, or rather, maximizing profits down to the cent and getting away with as much as they possibly can. If other companies charge less for skins it's not because they are nice, it's because they have determined they can't charge more, otherwise they would.
