Once you hit middle school, the pressure to "fit in" hits. Naturally, this includes games now.

The real cool people rock vanilla skins.
In sea of thieves, the noob skins either mean you're a total day one noob, or a fucking superpirate who's flag means death.
That goes for quite a few pvp games.
The best camouflage is noob skin, they'll never know what hit them.
Same for Yasuo skins
I decided to never make an in game purchase for one of the games I play the most. Only once did some random call me a "poor", which made me laugh. One the stupider things I've heard someone say in that game.
I don't care about skins like, at all. And intentionally leave my characters with whatever the defaults are just to show other people how much I don't care.
But definitely in my younger years wanted whatever was the hot thing at the time. I remember at one point it was yo-yos. And the "TalkBack" from Home Alone. And Furby. And Tomagotchi.
You mean the TalkBoy FX. You must not have wanted it as bad as I did.
