EA: What real skaters hate. (rant)

Queue times, always online, loot box mechanics shoved down throat, no culture or real skate vibes present in game, crappy customization, too much **bleep**ty "new" optimization things like automatic curb ollies and auto pumping in vert mess up lines, even the amount of "premium" things suck, barely any licensed skate brands (probably bc ea didnt want to pay overheads for brands), the music is mid at best, the graphics are subpar and there are graphical issues abound (mostly shader compilers), and i just read the roadmap for the "seasons" and they arent even making the game better before adding more microtransactions and a meaningless battlepass. EA thinks they can make money off the "FOMO" feeling but they dont realize skaters are the people who actively dont fall for that **bleep**. In protest i will continue to dress my character in the default clothes. 

**bleep** EA

**bleep** VEE

**bleep** the skatePass

This game will die before GTA VI comes out if they do not stop pushing the IAP **bleep**. Skaters are one of the few groups of people who actively avoid trends, stay in their own lane, and are pretty frugal overall (I've countless irl skater friends who salvage parts from old boards or have a board from like a decade ago, all of which strongly goes against any modern day business model, let alone EA's)

If EA thinks they can impose FOMO upon passionate skate fans, they are poorly mistaken. If you have any friends who spend money in this game, please ostracize them. Do not interact with people who actively contribute to EA's business model. They are not your friends, they are morons. SMH the Grim Reaper skin isnt even called the Grim Ripper wtf are we doing here thats such an easy layup.
