The crazy part isn't that people want to be able to disable that. The crazy part is that they want to pay to disable them...

No you guys, that should just be an option, no questions asked. Included in the options menu for... Well, whatever the asking price of the base game is. Also known as included in the base game.

People are offering to pay as a hyperbole to try to tell Activision how much they want to disable the skins. Nobody actually is willing to pay extra for that. Its like dangling a carrot in front of a corporations face.

"We want to do X so badly, we are willing to pay for it," which translates to " We want to do X so badly, we are willing to do the last possible option that we want in order to be able to do X."
