Fans were not happy when it was revealed that the Fortnite Squid Game skins would not include characters from the show such as protagonist Gi-Hun. Now players aren’t thrilled with the pricing of the new cosmetics.Reacting to the leaked shop, a player joked, “These prices got me feeling like I’m in an actual Squid Game.” A second user exclaimed, “3,000 V-Bucks for a bunch of defaults is too much.” The comment is, of course, referencing the fact that the bundles don’t actually feature characters from the series. One commenter pointed out, “The manager could’ve easily been just a secondary style for the guard like c’mon, and why no front man?”Screenshot: TwitterMany of the criticisms seem to center around the Fortnite crossover not featuring The Frontman. Which makes sense — the masked antagonist is practically the mascot for the show. If there was ever a more perfect skin for the battle royale, it would have been him. Hopefully, Epic Games is planning to release him later on as a Quest reward or future shop item.The post ‘Fortnite’ Squid Game Skins Release Date & Prices Announced – Players Complain About Bundle Pricing appeared first on VICE.
