Why would devs want to make games if they're out to make money and they can easily take advantage of skin addicts whose sole purpose in life is to acquire this shit like they're doing trading cards but they're gambling\

Skins usually work in multiplayer as long as the game is popular. Make a trash boring game and no one will buy skins.

It's pretty clear that these types of 'gamers' aren't really gamers they're people with a collecting addiction.

I admit to have bought lol skins back in the day. Didn't spend any significant sum, usually on discount.
