How games could do collabs better - eviltoast

COD:BO6 was just announced and all the comments talk about how the collab skins will drop after 4 months in the game and I was thinking to myself: “You know what, I wouldn’t mind a [TSwift/Spiderman/any celeb collab] if it was well implemented” For exemple, if you want to have a Spidey skin, go for the black one, or make it with a camo, don’t go full blue&red with glossy finish. If you want a Swifty skin, make it “war-ready”. Use dark shades, add combat equipment, camo. I know it would be hard to represent some flashy characters like that but it’s up to them to ruin the game IG.

Fortnite was in a good position as it already had a specific art style that allowed such skins to appear (even tho it loosed its original idea in the process) and also they at least try (I said try) to introduce collab in a lorefitting way.

    Man, these “realistic shooters” sure have changed in the decade since I last played one!
