I thought this was a joke but it seems like it’s actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

      I remember when this privilege was reserved for free games since it was how they made their money, but like Sterling says: they can’t just make money, they can’t make enough money, they gotta make all of the money.

        There’s also the fact that people will pay for it. Would you take a million dollars to let your favorite game put a skin of you in it holding a sign saying “I care more about the money I made from this skin than the quality of this game”?

        I hate the practice, but I despise the fact that it always turns out to be so damn profitable.
