    They see money coming in, so they add more microtransactions.

        Do skins improve the game? No.

        It’s ‘wasted’ effort that could be put into making a better game. It’s the concept of opportunity cost but applied to the quality aspect.

          Do skins improve the game? No.

          For me? Absolutely not. But I see plenty of people who love their skins.

          It’s ‘wasted’ effort that could be put into making a better game.

          Or, as my experience with the super cell games, it pays the bills and I get more content without paying anything. Seems like a win win to me. If they aren’t making any money from it, why are they going to create more content?
