They're pushing the game into an early grave

the entire game has zero reward for playing. Every video game should have clear intensives for playing, like you defeat another player in a contest, or you overcome a difficult level or challenge and see improvement and you can unlock some form of progression. Skate. has none of that. The entire game is built around opening loot boxes with absolutely zero reason to open them. The rarity of the clothing has zero meaning when you can just get them from opening the box a certain number of times and there are no duplicates. Every clothing item is also just a recolor of another one, even the branded ones are just the same model with a brand slapped onto it.  The "challenges" are not hard at all, most of them take like 40 seconds to a minute to finish tops. And doing them does nothing, even getting the neighborhoods to "max level" do nothing, rip score ultimately does nothing besides unlocking profile banners and titles, that nobody even pays attention to half the time.  The game is built on a 2010 facebook flash game formula where it's essentially a time killer with no purpose other than to unlock cosmetic items and waste time. It's sad.
