    People can use skins to show that they’re fans of a particular work. The Metroid fans want to socially signal their Metroid fandom in Fortnite, which is a social game home to many non Metroid fans they can posture to.

    It’s like wearing a costume to Comicon.

      The costume analogy makes sense, everything else sounds kinda weird to me but I’m not trying to judge.
