The shop needs serious change.

I do understand this game is in early access, but what is up with the cosmetic choice? 70% of the shop is clearly pandered towards women clothing styles. And not just women skating styles, just your everyday wear like leggings, skirts and crop tops. I’m not sure if anyone has ever skated around women in real life over there at EA, highly doubt it at this point, but we all wear unisex clothes. In my 15 years of skating not once have I seen someone show up to the skatepark in either leggings, skirt or a crop top. Hell, no one is  even wearing them in Skate. Im sure ea has all the data in the world behind what is and is not being bought, so it really just confuses me. Don’t even get me started about the sock choice either.

    It should not be surprising. Women spend almost 2x as much as men on cosmetic items.

    I can see that being true on a global scale, but in a game of this genre, men make up at least 80-90% of the player base.
