@SlivPTS so you say they made tests directly on people's wallets? like setting a skin 20 now, 10 the next day, 15 the third one and so on, to see where the right price point is? I doubt if it's even legal to do it like that in a game, although I've seen a store that adjusts prices based on demand, they start with a huge discount and then rise back towards the full price by a certain step, after each batch of 100 or so items get sold, even if that happens in an hour.
Yes, the skins are more work for artists and can't cause more issues and slower fixing directly. But maybe they don't have the possibility to double or triple the number of skins released per month, so they would have to come up with other type of content to justify buying battle passes or special event chests. New legends, items, map areas, modes and animations can cause more issues and slower fixing.
@SlivPTS focus group testing and detailed surveys.
Quality of skins is important, I agree, but people keep saying they would buy more if they were less expensive. This points out to quantity. If you have too many skins and also see legendary skins being commonly used in the game, you will probably appreciate the quality less and want them to raise the bar and complain if you have money to spend but there's nothing exciting available in the store. If the current number of skins is kept but the price is reduced significantly, the profit would be affected seriously, potentially slowing the development of the game or even killing it if it becomes unprofitable.
Doesnt matter if you think its overpriced from the get go, they slashed 600 coins off of it... thats a sale... by the very definition, thats a sale... so to answer your question, it was right in front of your eyes and you clearly saw it...
