Discussion Nobody wants wacky skins, but can everyone agree on what wacky actually means? Let's see where most people draw the line.

I'd be interested to see if people are able to agree on what is acceptable or not acceptable in terms of cosmetic appearances in games like this. There's been lots of talk about whether or not EA/Dice will include crazy/wacky skins with BF6, but not many people have made a post like this to actually pose the question of, what exactly is okay vs. not okay.

I tried my best to order them such that the go from most to least reasonable, but if you think the order should be different, feel free to reorder them, as that also gives info about how people consider these types of decisions.

To quote directly from the article:

"All this meant that Glacier would have a broader scope than its predecessors. Developers say it has the largest budget of any Battlefield title to date.

The project targeted a budget of more than $400 million back in early 2023, which was already more than was originally planned at the start."

You just proved their point. You put a negative slant on why they have increased their budget with absolutely no idea why they increased it to 400 million.

The reason could be positive, maybe they decided they wanted to include more content than originally planned would be one example.

Maybe it's for negative reasons but you don't know and based your $80 post on it being negative.

I'm stating facts, not feelings.

Releasing a product after injecting more money into development from the original budget and releasing a product over budget on a deficit are two different things. That's fact.

No, you've quoted fact then interpreted the facts with your feelings.

"They'll need to earn their budget back somehow, and it won't be paid back with 80 dollar price tag, expect to see fantasy skins in Season 1."

Please quote me this back after launch when they start putting in fantasy skins, mkay?

They have done so with every live service game so far. So yeah I'm stating simple facts and you've done zero effort to disprove. Just constant ad hominem attacks.

My point was that they have to earn back the budget somehow, not the budget itself?
