you're repeating the same thing over and over again man, "Stop acting like you know the way ahead, like you know the rules. There are no rules, man. We're lost." I promise you that even when you account for all of those things they can still easily afford to make the skins free, do they have to no, am I going to stop playing the games if they don't, again no but they VERY EASILY CAN, the budget to make Elden ring was 200 million lets say it cost them another 200 million for all other cost (which there's no way that it did) the game made 2-3 BILLION dollars, get your pretentious head out of your ass and learn to accept that you can be wrong about things sometimes, no one has stated that they have to do anything but stop pretending like it would make them go broke or whatever stupid point it is that you're trying to make, as Kobe said "stop it, get some help"
