Skate players were explicitly told map areas would not be “locked behind a paywall”
We’re now expected to rent imaginary spaces for our characters to play the game we already purchased in?
Is advocating people be burned at the stake against the ToS here? Because I’m advocating the fuck out of that.
People are still playing EA games after the take over by Saudis/Jared Kushner??? Sorry, I feel no empathy for these gamers.
there’s no moral consumption under capitalism so many people just don’t care
idk. I’ve heard we can still consume pussy.
That poor cat, are you forcing it to play EA games???

while you’re at it, i have also been making this lion watch infowars nonstop for the last all of its life and it is very gay.
EA literally had one job:
- Make Skate 2 but with a new area and updated graphics.
And EA went and fucked it up being greedy. And they wonder why Steam is killing it.
Uh…Jared Kushner owns EA now, so I don’t know why this would be relevant to anyone.
I don’t know why EA would be relevant to anyone for the past 20+ years, but here we are.
because they have exclusive rights to making an NFL video game
The fun part is…I tried the newest one on game pass recently. Aside from roster updates it’s the same game I bought on disc 20 years ago
lol if it was the same game from 20 years ago itd actually be pretty good. that would be madden 05 era which some say is the peak of madden
Well, I was looking forward to a new Mass Effect, but playing something like that made by Kushner and the Saudis would probably make tears in reality. Like, I’m pretty sure the paradox will make serious issues.
After all these things, why are people still buying anything from EA? Just boycott them.
Majority of people are NPCs
That’s on part of EA, look at sims 4, you have to spend 1000€ to buy all DLCs.
I’m glad I dont need to pay that much to play all the DLCs
Man, remember back in the day when you just went and bought a game and then played it?
I understand the sentiment here but let’s note that you do not go buy Skate. because it’s free to play.
Remember when free to play meant free to play?
I remember shareware.
My brain just shuts off when I read stuff like this.
Man, I dunno. Fuck AAA gaming, I’ll go play something else.
Thinking about it now, I haven’t bought any game with EA’s name on it since Dead Space 3.
That’s really disappointing. I have already completed all of the major challenges in this game and it was really great. I’m pretty disappointed to hear this is the direction they’ve went off to since I last checked in. I would say that if you miss playing the old skate games you can either get an Xbox series X and play them on backwards compatibility mode. Or you can give this a shot because at least it’s pretty fun for quite a while without any spend.
works well in emulators too or skater xl https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/skater-xl/9PFM3WM299H6 is the true spiritual successor
EA is for gaming like popcorn is for haute cuisine.
Wait, I made a mistake. There is good popcorn.
first time hearing about EA in years, and they’re doing this shit. kinda nostalgic really
I looked on EA’s games released over the last 1.5 years and it is a bunch of sports game, the Sims, Battlefield 6, Plants & Zombies remake, Split Friction (EA is publisher), Dragon Age: the Veilguard and Tales of Kenzera: Zau (EA is publisher).
It is difficult to understand how EA can be valued at 55 billions of dollars with those releases over 1.5 years. And in the list for upcoming games it is only one game, Star Wars Zero Company, that is listed.
An important detail is that this rental option is paid for in grind currency, not paid currency. Yes, “for now”.
Yeah, that’s just to normalise rentable levels. Once it has been begrudgingly accepted, there’ll be one that requires premium currency. Never buy EA.
You’ll still be able to buy them with ingame currency, but itll be days worth of farming or BEST VALUE 4.99.
They’ll still be able to hide behind an ethical “no mtx required” label.
Why days worth of farming? To help give the player a sense of “pride and accomplishment” of course.
I don’t buy anything from EA, but I’m curious: Is it difficult to acquire their games via the high seas?
Their permanently online (until their inevitable shutdown) DRM slop games? I bet it is quite difficult.
I still have Skate 3 installed on my Xbox for those times when I just want to chill for an hour. It makes me a little sad when I see what its become nowadays…
Does anyone remember how Skate 2 was the best one and they won’t release it again? I suspect it is because of the music.
Music is the bane of all the 2000’s games that dared to use any form of musical experimentation. Copyright strikes galore.
It really sucks that all it would take is George Lopez letting them use the theme song to his show.
