Fortnite Fans Outraged by Removal of Item Rarities and Overpriced Skins
Fortnite has upset fans by removing item rarities for cosmetic items, which were previously used to grade the game's character skins and determine their pricing in the item shop. The change coincided with the introduction of high-priced character skins, leading to concerns about overall price rises. Epic Games clarified that the removal of color labeling doesn't change their pricing approach and is aimed at simplifying the appearance of Fortnite. Fans have been discussing the changes and highlighting the arbitrary nature of cosmetic rarity, while also joking about the situation.
