But you see, if someone were to make a very ... appealing skin in a game, and other players were to stare and then they died because they weren't focusing, I think that may effect the gameplay!
I am just messing around, I get your point, but I do think they charge way too much sometimes.

Nothing. I wont encourage greed. What next, DLC for game textures?

So greed is now wanting to be paid for your job. I see.

Having a separate dlc for every single skin is just stupid, i don't buy those. Hitman's single weapon dlcs and Saints row single costume dlcs? What the hell. Not even sims had bollocks like a dlc with a new type of chair.

A casual set in the Dota2 store is around 10 euros, and you can buy 4-5 good indies for like a dollar (80 eurocents) ?
Rip-off ... But some people are collectors, and spend thousands and thousands dollars on pure cosmetics item, 'cause hey, they can. o.O

It truly depends on the game, the initial price and the fun I have with the basegame.
If it's a free game like League of Legends in first place and I enjoy it for a long period I'm more willing to spend much more than on tactical Weapon Pack's for FP-Shooters I only play for a few hours for example.
LoL was free in first place and up to today I spend roughly about 100€, not only for Skins but to unlock ingame stuff which otherwise would have taken me ages to do so (Champs, Runepages, ...). My account is ~2.5 Years old and I played it more or less all the time. Supporting a game which came for free and gave me lots of Entertainment is totally fine with me :)

I'm with you on this one. I'll support LoL anytime because it's not a pay-to-win basis.

Back when you could only purchace boosts, pets and cosmetics on MapleStory, I wasted a lot of money only for the looks, and sometimes it wasn't even permanent (well, none of them are permanent now, the server ended), and I didn't regret a cent.

I hope you at least kill before skinning, live skinning is really cruel.

nothing over 10 bucks, and only if the skin really changes something.
The most common example people have given here has been league of legends, and I think it´s definately a good example. However, I´m not gonna buy a skin unless it looks hella awesome or changes your skills too.

i've bought some 75% off skin-only dlc for games i got cheap and liked enough that i wanted to support them more. normally i won't buy dlc unless it adds something significant to the game. usually i find that dlc is priced at least 4x what it's worth and that's pretty annoying.

We all know games now always try to get you to buy more.
There are few times where you can buy the skins with in game currency but mostly it's with real money. Sometimes the Devs even want you to buy another game made by them which can cost quite a bit more.
My question is, when do you think they've crossed the line?
