It is pretty, I will admit. Screenshot by Destructoid The "Celestial Mortal" skin, as it is known in the game, is probably one of its rarest, and the only way to get it is by being super lucky on the pulls. If you aren't, then expect to pay $42,000, equivalent to about a yearly salary in the US, to get it. It's a beautiful skin, don't get me wrong, and it lives up to its name, but I'm not going to pretend that it isn't a tad bit excessive for a video game cosmetic that alters nothing except appearance.

And it's not like the game doesn't have cool skins that are otherwise free or cheap as well.

Gacha games and super-expensive "guarantees" are a topic I've covered extensively over the past few years, and the problem is by no means subsiding. What's more, it has spread to games in the West as well, including the likes of League of Legends. Even so, the latter's guaranteed drops run people up to a few hundred bucks at most, and are far removed from the 300,000 Yuan ($42,000) price tags of the Celestial Mortal.

Let's hope it stays that way.
