In the reply section of the tweet, Valorant fans poured in to give their takes. One fan simply said that Valorant offers better skins for much lower prices. They said, “Valorant gives you literally a dragon skin for $20.” CSGO fans quickly retorted with, “which a million other people have and you can’t trade it for anything, it’s worth 0$”.

You get your enjoying from making money
Others get enjoyment from the skins in the game
It’s subjective

I’m not sorry, Val skins don’t have shit on a good collection of Counter-Strike skins. No amount of Dragon guns and animations can make me feel the same. Collecting CS skins is a joy. pic.twitter.com/6l0YDl1aOv

VALORANT = Much better visuals, no monetary value, pure cosmetic.
CSGO = Collector item, repetitive and limited visuals but have monetary and sentimental value, also a status indicator.
I believe they are way too different to be compared even though both called "skins"
