lootboxesskin, cloth and probably new creature for just $50.Sellouts won't really realize what's going in the run long anyway so it's not like they're hurting other than the playerbase/fanatics they cater towards. Money is everything today so I can understand that aspect somewhat at least.
Let this also be a lesson if you decide to work with a publisher instead for easy cash flow. Because the opposite will often happen as can be seen with EA as an example. You will be bought up for a huge sum because you're cutting into their lootboxes and/or potential playerbase that makes way more profit in the long run.
Epic games is an American company. Did you slip and slam your head into the toilet this morning?
