What Convinces You To Spend Money On Skins?

There’s no doubt that having a nice, shiny skin for your gun or player model looks cool, and feels cool. But I’m the kind of person who can never justify spending actual money on those things, and I’m always fascinated by those that do.

So this week’s Big Question for you all: what convinces you to spend money on skins, whether it be a flashy CS:GO knife, an Overwatch loot crate, or something like retro rocket launcher for Quake Champions?

Is it the amount of time? Do you only buy skins for the guns and characters you use most often? Is it something of exclusivity – do you enjoy having something that nobody else has? And how many of you consciously decide to buy skins as a way of giving back, thanking the developers and creators for your hours of enjoyment?

Let us know. What pushes you over the edge when it comes to buying skins?
