People are offering to pay as a hyperbole to try to tell Activision how much they want to disable the skins. Nobody actually is willing to pay extra for that. Its like dangling a carrot in front of a corporations face.

"We want to do X so badly, we are willing to pay for it," which translates to " We want to do X so badly, we are willing to do the last possible option that we want in order to be able to do X."
