It absolutely is a pay wall because of how short lived the pass it. As someone who loves the franchise but only plays casually it's such a slap in the face. I love the idea of locking the area to progression HOWEVER, having to earn 500 rip chips every day takes the biscuit. It probably takes me 15 minutes to grind the daily tasks if I focus on it specifically but let's say I want to hop on for a quick half hour after work and skate grom, I wouldn't be able to unless I already had rip chips. Why not make it a full scale mission with a mini story to get there, so it actually feels like an achievement and let the credit card kids buy their way if they want?!
Honestly, I understand that it's early access and this may not be the case forever but after such a long wait for skate to return they keep slapping us in the face.
What's mad is they shot themselves in both feet on this because this has taken all of the attention away from the fact they actually made a good decision (you read that right!) by provided free clothing for everyone to choose from! This was one of the biggest gripes since day one and so was the clinicial feel and they said they are making the streets grittier too! But because of their stupidity and tonedeafness they haven't received any praise for it because. It's one baby step forward, one olympic world record long jump back!
