Why are M4A4 skins so popular?
If we think about the popularity of M4A4 CSGO skins, for example, about those we discussed in this blog post, it seems that M4A4 skins popularity is closely related to three things.
First, the rarity and the price tag that goes with it. The rarer the skin is, the higher it’s potential value is, and the higher the craving for these skins will be. However, this reason can be applied to almost all skins available on the market. Secondly, M4A4 skins are popular because M4A4 is a popular choice of weapon in itself. Therefore, if you have to look at a weapon for the better part of the match, you may want it to look amazing. Plus, having a rare skin on a very popular gun makes it easier to show off, right?
Lastly, for some people, it is not the price, nor it is the rarity that dictates the need for M4A4 skins, but aesthetics. Many people just like particular skins and don’t want anything to do with other certain CSGO M4A4 skins, ignoring price and popularity. They do not look for the best M4A4 skins. They want the prettiest M4A4 skins. In the end, everyone can make their own choice and express themselves with weapon skins. After all, this is one of the basics standing behind the CSGO skins philosophy.
