"The main focus is a customizable scout skin based on the playable and adorable characters from Peak. To buy the basic Peak Scout skin in Fortnite, which comes with a few customizable options and a backpack, you'll need to plop down 2,000 V-Bucks."
"If we do some basic math, that means this one Peak-themed skin and backpack costs more than twice the normal price of the indie game they came from."
"Right now, Peak only costs $5. That means you could buy four copies of the online co-op climbing game on Steam for the price of a single skin in Fortnite."
"Before Epic's recent increase to the cost of V-Bucks, the Peak skin would have cost around $18. For those keeping track at home, that's still more than Peak by quite a bit."
Epic Games introduced Peak-themed skins in Fortnite, costing 2,000 V-Bucks, approximately $20. In contrast, the indie game Peak is available for $8, or $5 during a sale. This pricing means one skin costs more than two copies of the game. Previously, the skin would have been around $18, still exceeding the game's price. Despite the high costs, Epic Games needs revenue to support its operations.
