This video sums it up perfectly. Skate. had SO much promise but ended up just becoming another soulless cash grab from EA. The F2P aspect never scared me because I knew there was A LOT they could pull off with a live service model that could have had constant updates making the game feel fresh/innovative compared to the competition. But the sad reality is that it only works if the Publishers + Developers are on the same page and both want a competent product. In this case it was monetary values over player feedback every step of the way. Putting a new area (that isn't even a NEW area) behind a paywall was the last straw for me and I think many other players who continued to support this trash with each new update. This is even more aggravating when you look back and see that they specifically stated multiple times that skateable areas would NOT ever be put behind paywalls... This game will go down in history as one of the biggest missed opportunities for a SLAM DUNK as a concept that I have ever witnessed. All they had to do was listen to the community and take notes from their past successes of Skate 2 + 3... but nope. R.I.P. Skate.
