Spectre Divide Reduces Cosmetic Skin Price from $90 to $70 After Backlash
Spectre Divide, a new free-to-play shooter, has reduced its cosmetic skin prices by 17-25% following criticism that they are too high.
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.
38It's actually on sale on Steam at the moment, too.
3Also on sale at GoG

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.
14No cosmetic items should cost more than £10/$20 imho £50/$70 is a full game for crying out loud.
10Besides 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.
3As 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.

I would consider even that obscenely expensive.

What a steal...
4Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.
The difference between this abusive horseshit and any cheaper example is quantitative - not qualitative.
2There is nothing wrong with charging something in the order of the production cost of the item divided by the expected sales number for it.
1Nonprofit gacha. That's a new one.
Still no.
