Let's be honest, it was stolen as soon as you got tricked into paying real money for how you look in a video game.

Games make you value arbitrary nonsense. That is what makes them... games. There is no ethical form of taking real money inside a video game.

What's more concerning are gold yoga pants and bunny ears...

They want so desperately to be Fortnite.

This isn't newsworthy.

A major franchise taking money for bullshit and not even letting people keep the bullshit is definitely news, even if it happens with alarming regularity.

Only legislation will fix this. If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.

Does that mean this game about WARFARE doesn't have working camouflage?

This game about WARFARE doesn't have bombers vaporizing everyone with fuel-air bombs from 2 miles away??? Are the devs making the game less realistic just so that it's more fun to play or something?????

The sarcasm isn't lost on me, but aren't the first set of skins for the dudes more drab colors and shit? I know you don't start out dressed like a Village Person.

It was a cool skin, never used it myself though. I'm happy I played against it though cause atleast for now everyone else is so much easier to see haha
