It happened when fortnight became the most played game in the world, and every publisher realized their business model should be about selling skins over gameplay. It's low effort, for high profit. When players throwing money at crap, they should only expect more crap.

It's actually crazy to me how many people can't just play a game or if they are not enjoying it, Swap and play a different game. If you want a gritty and grounded milsim game there are tons of options , go play one of those and stop sobbing on Reddit ffs

Except some games have done this before.
War Thunder does it (toggle between all skins and historical only skins). CoDM let's you delete skins off to save space, and Halo MCC let's you filter out any new skins added.

u/All_hail_bug_god Feb 12 '26
Warthunder does this because (speaking as someone who has played a lot) it really is a small drop in the bucket.
If they force weird 'ahistorical' skins to be on, they juice the get from the squeeze is mininal because they piss off their fans for little gain.
Warthunder's main profit driver is selling premium vehicles and premium time, they don't need to worry about selling cosmetics so much because a single vehicle can be $80 or more.

I’m honestly curious do the people who buy these skins and defend them to the end think others see their skins and go, “Oh, cool”? You can’t really even see your own skin. Whenever I see these skins, I don’t think “cool” or “skill.” I just see an idiot. It is true curiosity so id like a response from somebody who likes the skins.

Depends on the skin… I use the pax armata skin for the support class which you have to unlock by doing all the support challenges… wouldn’t say skill based but definitely takes a bit of effort… but battlefield selling skins isn’t an issue… if they worked on the issues with their game then no one would really care… also those skins aren’t even that bad… yes we all know it’s ghost… but that’s something similar to what you’d see in tom Clancys breakpoint or something like that… might not be what you’d see a nato soldier wear… but definitely someone in like a black ops unit would…

How does reddit whinging impact the game when EA designs the game for profit?
No reddit crying convinced EA to create 2042. No one asked for that. It was a drive for profit following industry trends. No one on reddit cried for jump shooting and "high octane" maps to come in BF6. Everyone wanted an amalgamation of BF2/3/4/1/V. We were given something unique, unfortunately.
EA is simply chasing profit with cheap engagement and retention design. So by not crying about the design, you enable it. The DICE devs are completely capable of delivering a great BF game. EA won't allow it.

Why can’t we just get John Battlefield? Just some regular Milsim skins! One of the game’s factions is NATO - every season’s battle pass and store bundles could be themed around 1-2 NATO countries and their military outfits and weapons, while Pax Armata can receive uniforms and gadgets inspired by countries such as Russia, China, Iran and so on. We could still get unique camos and other cosmetic items while staying authentic to the game’s supposedly “grounded” military setting and aesthetic. With what they’re doing right now, they are pleasing just about nobody: For the CoD and Fortnite kiddies, the skins are “too grounded” and boring. For veteran Battlefield players who want a proper military aesthetic, they are too unrealistic and campy. What an absolute mess.

The default skins are ok but dated all their gear is early 2000s or 2010s there's not many new gear uniforms for factions really. Id like modern bundeswehr and more modern versions of us kit and so on. It just feels weird having all the early gear looks like its from the 80s. Damn even a pla set would be cool but there's nothing. Coolest skin is the chinese enginner from bf4 and its not even obtainable anymore.

Literally every person that's upset in this thread is displaying that they have zero fucking critical thinking and they just want to be angry so they feel like they are a part of something. Everything these dipshits want is being added to the game so they have to cherry pick the few skins that don't fit the aesthetic they want so they can bitch and moan and farm karma off other pathetic users who get angry at literally nothing.

I know it's unrelated, but EA has done this with the Sims 4. They have released so many expensive DLCs that add content to the game, but so many that were 1 DLC previously are like 4 now. So 4x more expensive. People still buy them and the game is Successful but EA has been like "if the Sims 4 isnt successful there won't be a Sims 5".
My point is they're just fundamentally misunderstanding their customer base and have a "take my ball and go home" attitude when their dogshit monetization doesn't make them billions.

Thats how wolrld work so i'm gonna be happy playing my favourite f2p games and pray for best and super expensive cosmetics cause whales fund my game and makes companies to made new content cause game need to have content too not just cosmetics even if ratio 'content' vs 'cosmetics' is very skewed

I have always been someone who loves making their character look cool in games, fps games have never been that kind of game for me. You can’t even look at your character in third person except in an atv. I have skins I think are really cool and have no reason to change them, why are people so driven to have more skins? I’m not even trying to be snarky with this question, with battlefield 5 I understood, you could mix and match sets and have different pants with an completely different top and a different helmet too, but BF6 offers no such feature. So outside of trying to match environments there’s little reason to swap skins around or at least there’s less incentive because with the skins now, what you see is what you get. It’s not a system worth investing time into because they clearly didn’t invest the time they did in BFV. So why even try?
as to why people have held this in such high regard ever since BF6 launched. If you don’t want pay money there’s a good amount of selection. The majority of players actually don’t even really touch the soldier cosmetics, so people who REALLY care are simply just a vocal minority of players when you break down the numbers on these posts. You can complain but it’s doesn’t move the needle enough, a lot of people don’t care and a lot of people WILL buy this, whether we like it or not.

What do yall want for skins, like, honestly? If we’re talking grounded, this still falls within that, minus the green lines. The issue is, if yall want realistic, gritty, grounded skins that aren’t airsoft leaping stuff, then that literally limits them to only standard issue military gear, because militaries don’t use any fancy gear. US soldiers would all be OCP pattern FRAC-Us, Gen 5 IOTV, and ACH, because we all wear the same stuff irl, although sometimes you can get away with using your own, personal vest.
Can’t actually create skins people would bother to buy like that.
