      Maybe kids are earning vbucks by doing chores?

      I too think its pants-on-head retarded to buy skins, but i remember being a kid and only wanting a certain toy because its popular right now. The amount of kids who wanted pokemon cards but didnt know how to play was unreal.

      You didn’t learn budgeting in one go. I learned it in part by not being able to afford every video game I wanted. Part of how this generation of kids will learn budgeting is by only having a finite amount of V-Bucks and not being able to get every skin that they want, but they’ll keep playing Fortnite, and they’ll keep seeing new skins they want.
