Can the prices of microtransaction items be revised?

It's a general consensus within the community agree that if the prices of the store items were adjusted to feel more value-for-money then a lot more people would indulge in microtransactions rather than hesitate to make purchases. Even multiple content creators have said this in their videos/streams.

    Agree - I think I wouldn't mind $10-$15 for full outfit and costume bundles, thats very reasonable it feels pretty standard - because i think Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, and Apex has the same kind of pricing for full character skins.  But currently in skate they are more than double that. The pricing of bundles specifically is the worst thing about the game it just feels like salt on the wound of the game being in a early access type state -- the prices should reflect the overall current experience of the game and not be priced solely on the looks of an item itself.  I genuinely like a lot of the bundles but the pricing is too high for me to feel like it's worth using in the game, because the game is good, but not good enough for me to buy a $29 bundle, its more so good enough for me to buy a ~$12 bundle -- same with marvel rivals i never bought a skin more than $15 because the game isn't THAT good for that kind of investment

    things that are not full outfits should be worth at most a quarter or half of a theoretical $10-$15 bundle: As of current pricing, i think some shirts being around ~250 SVB and pants being ~250 SVB seems reasonable, but shoes at 900 SVB or higher than 250 SVB is a massive outlier, even as a "collectors" rarity item. If I were going to push it, I feel like shoes can be priced up to 500 SVB if they are truly unique one of a kind type shoes, but 500 SVB still is cringe pricing for visually minor things (like shoes)

    TLDR /Summary - the bundle prices should be halved, like basically all of them -- some individual items like the infamous vans shoes should've never been priced that high. if its truly unique, like on the tier of being an entire different model (not a recolor/retexture), then a 250+ SVB item might not sting as hard, even though it still kinda stings a bit.
