V-Bucks aren't getting more expensive, Fortnite players just don't understand the economy

Epic Games has recently announced changes to the prices of V-Bucks, but many Fortnite players don't understand the reasoning behind it.

[Inverno]

Well yeah, I wouldn't expect kids to understand the economy.

[BrainSyphoned]

Oh boohoo, Epic has to struggle to change the money they are getting from selling a fake in-game currency into USD

"The math is not in their favor" "So technically, Epic Games started losing money."
Fortnite Revenue
Year Revenue
2021 $5.8 billion
2020 $5.1 billion
2019 $3.7 billion
2018 $5.4 billion
Yup that evil math sure is keeping the man down.

I mean, I get your point, but at least they're not price-gouging like they could. You know they could go heavier and people would still spend the money.

[iEatNapkinz]

You tell 'em, champ!

[fsfsxii]

how many vbucks is the writer getting paid?

[Fonsecap]

I'm a gamer for more than 30 years, and I can't get why people spend money to buy clothes or skins for characters that don't add nothing to gameplay...

[jznrpg]

I don’t get it either. It’s not like most buy one or two items either. They want as many cosmetics for each “season”

[Christopher]

They're like in-game achievements/trophies to people. It's very elementary school/high school logic where people seemingly care about what others have and that they're just as cool as them.
