Currencies

4 different currencies? 4?!! why do we need that many different currencies in game? Fortnite has one. 1 currency!  Why does a skating game need 4? Is it so you can confuse all the nepobabies and trick them into swiping mom and dad’s credit card again? There used to be a time when game devs and publishers had a little bit of integrity and were at least subtle about gouging people’s wallets, but this is just beyond ridiculous. Asking people to pay for the pass that doesn’t even cover its own cost, then pay for the Halloween bundles, then pay for the currency…

 

is this even a skating game anymore or is it a shop with a skating mini-game? Because it’s genuinely starting to feel like the latter. More focused on engagement with their terrible item shop that they’re literally letting this game flounder. At this point I think I’d rather them just pull the game altogether. If you’re gonna do it, maybe do it right with what the people actually want next time. You had the market and people showed you they were willing to pay for a full release of a game, but instead you guys handed us a watered down version of what we asked for with about 1/10th the content of the original games. 

I was so hype to hear this series was coming back after dedicating my earlier years to the franchise, but the things they’ve been doing, the lack of communication from developers about any ongoing issues outside of Discord. You’re a multi-billion dollar corporation and there’s zero excuse to have pumped out this wasteful shell of a game.

  • I agree 100%.  Two currencies is pushing it.  Three is unacceptable.  Along those lines, I do not spend ANY currency on ANYTHING because of how long it STILL takes the stupid **bleep** unskippable animations to be over with >:X

    And nothing fun to spend it on.  The priorities are way off.

    4 currencies and only 3 types of challenges.

    It's all nonsense.

    I look in the skate shop, feel immediately overwhelmed and highly disappointed by the arcade online-shoppification of it, have literally no idea what the purple bucks are, other than they represent real-world money so I ignore it, then have a depressing browse of the rubbish items with prices in orange bucks. Open a random loot box with a randomly selected item. Swiftly leave.

    It is utterly depressing. The "skate shop" in Skate 4.
