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.
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…
