You can say ‘Cosmetics don’t matter!’ but the astronomical sales of cosmetic items pretty much proves that to the majority of players, that is not the case.

Is it a majority of players or a minority that pays unsustainable sums?

Play a match of Valorant. EVERYONE has skins. There are whales that buy every $100 bundle sure, but even the regular players often end up buying a $20 skin or $50 bundle pretty often.
