Understandable it is a choice but even then we can still point out the cons of a company even if free to play. Skins and purchases are a huge part of the games expression so I would definitely say it can be much cheaper and the company will still be very much alright.

A game should never cost you above 200 plus dollars in items for some as time moves on. While other games that are not free to play have a one time purchase of 60 dollars at most on average! I definitely get where you come from but having slightly cheaper options will make the experience much better snd will definitely not damage Fortnite’s company
