And that show still got its second season, giving it 3 parts total. So even then, not that much of a failure.

S2 was greenlit before S1 aired, a mistake often made by Netflix. Just fulfilling a contractual obligation, that pretty much nobody watched or cared about.

And since no one can ask you for any proof, like numbers that would mean anything without a detailed analysis of general watch habits across streaming services correlated to MOTU toy sales over the past decade that didn't correspond to comic sales, without completely derailing the thread, then I guess you win! Well done sir! You've inspired me to start s#itting on Beast Machines using a silent majority argument in ANY Seibertron thread tangentially related to CGI! No, really, we all love you for this, o.supreme, because I say so!

As for the topic at hand, those prices just killed what little desire I had to pursue video games beyond Retrocade and its ilk. The fact that enough players are willing to fork over anywhere near that much for a few skins they like and not get any physical toy or anything just helped me understand the logic behind the economics that led to NFTs, so thanks Will!

These Overwatch skins are only cosmetic, and make no difference in how the character itself plays in the game. A luxury purchase. I guess if you have the money to blow, and don't mind doubling the amount of money you pay for a game, then more power to you. But generally, there's a word for people like that.

Suckers.

I don't care who they skin, I'm not playing Overwatch.

Having said that: That Optimus skin looks AWESOME!
