That skin thing is just crazy. Spending a lot of money on a fursuit... well, if you have the money go for it. But the skin isn't a physical object. It doesn't even have any purpose outside of the game. It's not tangible. Even if CS:GO were to exist for eternity, digital objects can be easily copied. It might require hacking the game but the value is not tied to anything. You can't copy a fursuit the same way and even if you did it would no longer be made by the same maker. A copy of a rare file is identical to the original in every respect. You can try to enforce rarity in digital items but its completely artificial as the medium is not limited and, in the end, that's not helpful to anyone except those who are already at the top of the social/economic hierarchy.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
