My issue wasn't the skin bundles being so expensive but rather the crazy prices for upgrading your already bought skin. While you can unlock variants through xp it will take literal DAYS to completely upgrade one skin.
It's pretty expensive to upgrade but if you plan on playing the game at all there's no reason to pay to advance the XP. If you play the game enough then it shouldn't be too bad. But I do think it's pretty dumb that they have the XP feature it's not necessary at all. You already paid for the skins just let us use them. Seems kinda greedy to do it this way. It's like a battle pass almost. But they are trying to mimic valorant which riot is also greedy so oh well...
@@JackHippo i mean it wouldnt be so bad if you could unlock the variants while unlocking new sponsors. The fact I have to choose to unlock a character or upgrade my variants for a skin I already paid for is kinda ridiculous
@@D3c1ine you can't unlock a Sponsor separately from upgrading a skin? That was something I didn't know as I don't have the skins. That's really stupid WTF? How do they expect people to be able to unlock all this stuff? People will get bored of playing the same sponsors cuz there's only 4 and with 2 teammates taking away you only get to pick 2 until you unlock another one.. Its a bit brutal right now with how they have done things. I get they need to make money to support development and servers.. but this is a bit much
They might need to increase how much XP you get or decrease how much XP you need but the price isn’t really the problem I mean have you seen the prices in valorant
@@DeathhYk I think there already was a XP adjustment for unlocking new sponsors. But if you can't unlock sponsors and gun skins simultaneously. That is pretty dumb. The sponsor XP should have nothing to do with the gun skins XP.
I’m sorry but after league released a $500 skin and people actually bought it. I don’t give a fuck about what people say anymore about pricing just play the goddamn game
You are not wrong. I get that it's a bit dumb that they are that expensive but if that's what they want to charge that's their decision we are not entitled to their skins. Annoying yes but some people will pay it. The league skin was insane. It's unfortunate that some of these successful companies are setting precedents for the future... I have been having a great time so far only going free to play.
I dont think Spectre Divide will go that far its not different enoth to realy get a big enoth playerbase its mostly hold up right now by Shrouds markeing
@@xythiera7255 I think the game is good enough to hold an audience. It doesn't have enought content to rival it's competitors. But it's also a different enough game for people to want to play it. The duality system and being able to move while shooting is speaking to a lot of people.
I agree with you, tbh the first wave of the store should have been cheaper skins I think they really messed up by putting the most expensive stuff at the top. Looks a bit greedy visually. They needed to build up rep with the player base before trying to charge those prices.
@@JackHippo The problem is also if you charge more then Valorant for lower effort skins then peopl wont accept that . Also doesnt help how out of touch Shroud has become when he talked about the prices .
@@xythiera7255 yeah, it all felt a bit out of touch which is a shame because the game is really good. But a lot of people are not going to even try it due to the optics of the situation.

The game might be free to play but, damn, is the paid stuff EXPENSIVE lol. Kinda lame.
