Fortnite is renowned for its vibrant cosmetic offerings and innovative crossovers. However, the game has recently found itself in the midst of controversy as reports circulate that Eminem's new collaboration with the game may feature three separate skins rather than the conventional two outfits with distinct styles as seen in previous collaborations.
This deviation from the norm has ignited discontent within the community, with players expressing concerns over the potential cost implications of this change and a departure from established collaboration practices.

The discontent stems from the idea that other skins from Fortnite's Icon Series, such as LeBron James and Travis Scott, have typically been presented with two distinct outfits with different styles. The precedent set by them has conditioned the community into expecting two versatile outfits rather than standalone entities.
Doing this not only allows players to engage with these collaborations with a more economical approach but also ensures a cohesive and streamlined appearance when choosing a particular character or outfit. Additionally, the bundles are priced in a way that makes them cheaper than purchasing all items included in the bundle separately.
In the case of Eminem's potential triple-skin release, the community fears it could heavily impact the bundle price for the skin, inflating it beyond usual. The game traditionally bundles outfits, back blings, and other cosmetic items to offer players a more comprehensive package.
That said, the introduction of three separate Eminem skins may disrupt this convention, leading to increased costs for players looking to get their hands on the entire set.
