Why would a fortnite skin become high status? Aren’t they all available in unlimited quantity for a fairly standard price? That sounds like the opposite of scarcity. If something is popular then it will be the most common and thus the least interesting.
Surely you’re not saying people buy skins because they might turn out to be unpopular and thus cool to wear…
I’m sure there’s a niche culture around always buying the absolute latest piece, but that’s not the fear of missing out and would exist even if everything was always available?
- leetcrew 5y agothe supply is unlimited, but the number of skins "in the wild" is limited by price. apparently the most expensive Fortnite skins cost hundreds of dollars. not everyone (or more realistically, their parents) can afford to drop that on a digital texture. "popular" can mean "widely desired", not necessarily "owned by many people".
