That's what they get for paying $60 for a damn skin 🤣

Idiot gamers cry about their game made to extract money from idiots

Why would I want to pay [$60] to get a skin that essentially flash bangs me every time I ADS?

Lol, then don't?

Seriously, why pay $60 for a skin? This is like nft's for video games

EDIT: After playing the video posted on Twitter. I can safely say that this is a "Look at me. I'm a dumbass who spent $60 for a skin! EVERYONE LOOK AT ME!"

That's COD skins in a nutshell. Either that or the skin is broken and it's pay to win. If you watch any ranked play from the last game, 90% of people had the Groot skin.

In a way it's even worse. NFT's gave people the illusion that it's an investment. This is just basically a dunce hat

The article does not even show the skin...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

There's a video on the article a little lower down the page

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Maybe it’s there but the camo is just that good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

it looks really stupid, they know people would buy them just to make video content out of how stupid it is. And if you search for the camo name on youtube you can see all the victims, I hope they make back the money from youtube. lol
