It's tiny in comparison to cosmetic transactions nowadays. Still ridiculous, then as now

What are skins going for now in games like Fortnite, R6, or CS:GO? Aren't some going for as much as a new game? More?

"normal" is around $10, "high" is $20-30, we've seen as high as $500 iirc.

Most indie games release between $15-30. Honestly most skins are around the cost of a new game, yeah.
