Overpriced cosmetics in live-service video games are nothing new. That said, it is always noteworthy when a game releases a cosmetic that is so expensive, it really makes you scratch your head. Case in point, World of Warcraft's recently released Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur, affectionately named the Bruto Mount.
Originally released on Thursday, the mount is “adorned with a 20th Anniversary themed harness encrusted with gems representing World of Warcraft’s expansions.” It's available through early January, and it costs a whopping $90.
Of course, while we love to meme on the cosmetic, it turns out the Bruto Mount is massively popular. As IGN reported earlier, it is so popular that the Auction House is out of WoW Tokens, owing to the fact that players were attempting to translate gold to real-life dollars.

Not only that, but as many Redditors can attest, players in droves are flexing their newest mount on the in-game streets. Some have even theorized that it could be one of Blizzard's bestsellers ever.
At $90 a pop, it's easy to see how this...
