How to mask a scummy monetization move under a "we care for the community" false statement

Interesting. They have listened to the vocal minority. I always felt like the majority of people who buy and play the game couldn't give two shits about skins. It's the gameplay that matters. When you see the vault edition skins, this makes no sense. You are still going to have these skins on day one. Bizarre decision.

These guys are extremely data driven. If it was a "vocal minority" as you stated this would never be happening. Someone has looked at the data available, and established this is damaging enough that they need to change direction. Otherwise they would never have done it.

I don't play them so I wouldn't really know for sure. But this COD feels very low-energy and lame for some reason.

If you assume they aren't planning to sell anything beyond normal military skins sure, maybe. But do we really think they're shutting down that in game storefront or reducing its floor space (so to speak) by culling the funny skins from the store?
