@Kaira-UK- A legendary skin should be rare. If it would cost 5-10$, probably everyone would buy it and it would become too common. Also there would be much less interest to unlock or buy common rare and epic stuff.

@DoYaSeeMe That's not a good enough excuse, if it's cheaper yes more people would buy it which is good because that means more money for Respawn, just because you wouldnt feel like a snowflake is a terrible excuse, people have no interest in the common, rare and epic items at the moment what would change?

@Kaira-UK-It's never as simple as that. Let's say that from a 20$ skin, 15$ are profit. If you sell that skin for 10$, the profit becomes 3 times smaller, so you need 3 times as many buyers. In reality, the price drop may increase sales only by 20% instead of 200%. On top of this, if you consider the fact that all products need to get a discount after a while, when they aren't trendy anymore, or if they don't meet the expectations, things get more complicated.
Then, consider how volatile the games market is. A game may have excellent cosmetics for excellent prices, but at any moment another one can come and steal like 50% of the playerbase together with their spendings.- 6 years ago@DoYaSeeMe your aguement is null and void with the fact this skin is a 2 week exclusive item, after that they wont make ANY money from it period.
- 6 years ago@Kaira-UK- Maybe this skin will reappear in another event, or in the same event next year, like Overwatch does. Anyway, if it would become unavailable forever after the event, that would make a pretty good reason for the high price.
