“DE is testing the waters with this one. People out here defending 90 euro skins, like do these people know how many amazing things you can buy with 90 bucks.” – Sw1ftkill

“It’s a shame these super nice cosmetics are reserved exclusively for people with more money than sense.” – Noble7878

The skins aren’t as limited as, say,
