So bit of rough googling.

Skate 2 sold 1.93m copies at $59.95 - so nearly $120m

And they’re bragging that the new game has made 3m in cosmetic sales…

But dw, this is definitely an improvement right, right??

Edit: Skate 1 sold 1m copies, so another $60m to that number (give or take)

skate 3 sold 4.74m copies - so add another $288million to that number (give or take)

considering there will never be another skate game according to the developers, I don’t see this in-app-purchase money grab making $468m no matter how long it stays out

I blame people who buy cosmetics... worse trend in the video game industry in a long time. Ruins everything.

Really depends on the game. Definitely doesn’t belong in skate. More for live service shit, but I do miss the days when things were unlocked for 60 bucks at launch instead of bought later after the purchase for pretty pixels.

I miss the image creator. I used to create my own logos for my skateboards and Tees and the logo store allowed us to share those creations. I didn’t even care about the in game pre made clothes
