I was having a think about the monetization of skins. So, this might seem either obvious or unintuitive depending on the way you think, but the seller (in this case Nexon) doesn't make any money when you buy a skin, it made that money back when you bought the Caliber. From the seller's perspective (without taking into account that they'd prefer you to be a repeat customer) you could drop dead for all they care and have that Caliber sit in your account for the rest of time, you've already made the only transaction that matters. But, as I mentioned, they probably want your repeat business, so it follows up that it's in their best interest that there are things you want to spend the Caliber on (and here we get to how converting money to a strange nonsense currency like Caliber, or Gems, or Riot Points, or Platinum, etc, etc... messes with psychology and makes you more willing to "spend" than you otherwise were), and in doing increase the likelihood that you see something you want, but simultaneously don't have enough Caliber to buy it, which you then buy, and the cycle begins anew. I'm sure there are really smart people with PhDs in Economics or Business Psychology or whatever that have written papers on the subject, but I like to think about this kind of thing on occasion.
