You can buy Baldur’s Gate 3 for less than 70 usd. So, why on earth are they charging 70 usd for a skin? This is unacceptable even if the game is free to play.
Valorant has skins that can only be acquired in their $80+ bundles too.
Following the valorant trend, they know some people will keep paying, no matter the price.
Besides buying out all the DRG cosmetic packs because I'm a whore for coffee stain and ghost ship, the best DLC cosmetic I've ever bought is the dumb piglet Saltzpyre wears on his head in Vermintide 2. It's got a little wiggly butt and floppy Lil legs and it's adorable. Best $5 I've ever spent.
As a fellow whore for coffee stainI kinda wish coffee stain had something similar for Satisfactory (but I'm also glad there isn't) , but since they don't I took to buying the game 9 times (gifted them to friends) and bought merch over the years. It's so refreshing to have such insanely good communication between the devs and the community.
