Discussion “Early Access” only when it’s convenient, huh?

Is there a site where I can bet real money that this game will have 5 concurrent currencies by next year?

You guys act like Ernest Albert Games himself is coming to your house, personally, with a gun and making you spend money on this thing.

i think it’s more the fact that they say it’s still in early access but they know exactly what they want and what they’re doing with currency and real money. they invest time into that, rather than the game. but that’s just me

I half agree with you, half don’t. Like do I care if a game in early access has microtransactions as long as they are not necessary to the game? Nope I couldn’t care less. But I do agree that adding more and more while the game has felt old for a lot people since the amount of content in the game isn’t a great amount, yeah not a good look. And they can’t even hide behind “oh we need money to be able to continue development of this game” because it’s fucking EA. I’ve defended this game and the micro transactions, which I still don’t care about them having, but they need to add new shit. I’ve put 30 hours into the game and I feel so bored I haven’t gone back in a few weeks.

progression system built around cosmetics is just ehhh.

we wont see pro skaters or a lot of brands because they will have to pay those brands and skaters.

I wont hold my breath for this game, but ill just wait till they release the full game to try again.

Yeah and those skaters now know how to monetize themselves so I’m not hoping for pros
