Is there another way to get the Ruby skin for Nyx??

[InThePipe5by5]

Ruby is one of the coolest skins in the lineup, but I am not planning to get new hardware sometime soon.
Soo.. is there any way to get that skin? Not even if you got the Champs pack all the way early on? :)))

Back in good old quake days, all you need to do was just adjust texture in gimp or photoshop, and put it to base catalogue.

But now... Bethesda (not really id) is greedy AF.

how else should they make money to keep the servers online in a free to play game?

By releasing a full price game.

There are 9500 players online right now. If it were a full price game, it would definitely be under 500.

How much do you think it cost PUBG to run servers for 1.6 mill peak players daily, enough to still run for years after release?

No...

Depends on the game. It usually the community running the servers.

first time i hear something like this. the original battlefront 2 to name an example had it servers closed by ea and other games too. WoW classic got its servers back from the community. blizzard shut them down.

It entirely depends on the game.

Some games have only company run dedicated servers, they stay up while they're either profitable, or for a while afterwards as good will if the company thinks it will encourage the players on to their upcoming games. Sometimes the company releases the server binaries so the community can keep playing after the company stops putting money into the project - Quake Live did this. Otherise when they're gone the game is dead online.

Some games release dedicated servers either alongside the company servers, or as the only servers.

Some games use P2P networking so don't have any servers.
