Or they could just sell the skin at some point and make money. I’m not sure how much the game actually makes off of dlc, obviously, but I’m going to assume they need all they can get.
Otherwise, the game is essentially set up to monetize loot boxes and fuck that nonsense right up the ass. I don’t think any of us want that. And before you say it can’t or won’t happen… the basis of the loot box system is already in the game. All they have to do is adjust how much veritanium you get for free and then start offering their currency packs, like everything else these days.
