Fortnite is all about swag. Players’ lockers are filled to bursting with outfits that can transform them into Spider-Man, Lara Croft or Snoop Dogg. These so-called skins come and go on a daily basis in the Fortnite Shop, a hyper-capitalist mecca of digital oddities, from purchasable dance moves (emotes) to parachuting gliders.
All of it comes at a cost, naturally, helping developer Epic Games to rake in billions each year (that’s cold hard cash, not V-Bucks).
