Fortnite’s Latest Ariana Grande Skin Sparks Backlash
Epic Games’ latest release of an Ariana Grande skin in Fortnite has led to player dissatisfaction.
The gaming community has voiced their concerns over the Rosy Rift Goddess Ariana skin, which they see as a mere re-skin of a previous version. Despite the new pink color scheme and added details like gloves and tights, players are questioning the decision to price it at 1,500 VBucks, equivalent to a brand-new skin. The discontent has been especially vocal on platforms like Reddit, where fans express their disappointment in what they perceive as a lack of originality and value.
Fortnite is known for its collaborations with celebrities, and the original Ariana Grande skin was a hit when it debuted in 2021. However, the introduction of a slightly altered version without the option to purchase the old skin has left players feeling shortchanged. The community’s reaction highlights a broader issue in gaming, where recolored or slightly modified content is often sold as new, leading to debates about the fairness of such practices.
