Skate players were explicitly told map areas would not be “locked behind a paywall”
i remember pointing out that this would happen in a couple places and ppl said i was just being negative. like a live service skate game is a dead in the water idea but ppl were so starved for skate content they just didn’t listen to sense. look where they are now
EA invents a new way to assure I never purchase their products. Ever.
The fact anyone has bought any of their products in the last 15 years is why they can keep doing this stupid shit. Stupid things for stupid people.
Usual reminder:
If you know a parent who is not an active gamer, remind them to never buy games for their kids that have microtransactions, passes, or any form of post-purchase payment. They often will have no idea what they are contributing to as it is not part of their ‘bubble’ to be aware of what these things do to their kids, their kids’ friends, and the industry and society as wholes.
Sense of pride and accomplishment
EA lies more than Trump. News at 11.
Unrelated, but when did all Magazines start faking youtube thumbnails as the meta image…? I bet times are desperate, but I mean at what point do you understand that it’s all the deceit and desperation that drives literally everyone away to the media they imitate?
In this one case EA is to blame, but I do know what you mean. I think it’s just that YouTube videos have had a large impact on the form media takes, and that’s trickled out towards other forms.
Soooo, the metaverse paid plots? I swear, every company with even an inkling of a 3d environment now just wants to “build” and sell worthless plots as if it’s real land, and literally nobody who uses these actually fucking asked.
It’s all about fleecing morons as much as they’re willing to be fleeced.
It’s EA. Anyone who’s surprised by this either is an idiot or hasn’t been paying attention.
Welp, uninstalled.

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.
Nobody purchased Skate, it is free to play.
They just promised not to lock locations behind a paywall, which the executives decided to change.
I see a clear correlation between the decline of tar-and-feathers and riding people out on a rail and the rise of terrible business practices.
Yes. Remember when we burned people at the stake? Whatever happened to that? Just live stream a few billionaires and child rapists being slowly burned as an object lesson to the rest and I imagine things would change fairly quickly.
Yes, this is exactly it.
Negativity is censored because it’s bad for business.
This is a great example for the moral justifications of piracy. The bytes for the maps are on your hard drive, why the fuck should you not be allowed to play on them? When someone playing a pirated copy has a better experience than someone on a
boughtlicensed copy something’s not right.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
no, if you dont care about what you put your money into you are just a piece of shit humanbeing if you knowingly put it into something that is detrimental. Just putting it under “people just dont care” is defeatist talk. And if you dont know and someone tells you and you tell them to fuck off with their morals, then its same thing.
i know, for my persuasive argument let me start with
you are just a piece of shit humanbeing
idk. I’ve heard we can still consume pussy.
That poor cat, are you forcing it to play EA games???
Animal Humane Society operates the primary animal cruelty reporting line in Minnesota: 612-772-9999 or report online at investigations@animalhumanesociety.org.
The cat is being eaten brah
thank you
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.
