OP, the only reason, the ONLY reason that they have to retire skins is for what you have guessed. The moneysss.

Although I do kinda feel guilty for belonging to the group of players that my friends jokingly call, "Enablers", or people who have stupidly sunken alot of money into the game and "Enables" riot to make decisions like this and still be financially secure.

So you can blame people like me for the retirement of said skins. I will accept the blame wholeheartedly. But I STILL wish that Riot would, even for just 2 days, re-enable the older Harrowing skins like Zombie Ryze and Bewitching Nidalee.....

But I guess that notion will give me a reason to dream at night ;____;
