In another April Fools’-but-it’s-really-in-the-game development,
Fortnite’s marketplace of skins
added the Stonks! meme guy on Thursday.
“Diamond Hanz,” as he is called, goes for 1,200 V-bucks — which roughly equals about $10. We
think that price should hold steady, but this is not a forward-looking statement securities involve risk and may lose value member FDIC please don’t sue me.
Anyway, 1,200 V-bucks is a mid-tier price for a premium skin, the “Diamond Hanz” name not withstanding. Diamond hands was the term used for those who held on to their GameStop shares through the fury of late January and early February, creating a short-selling balloon intended to punish hedge funds and other speculators.
