Where's Vee?

I play skate. on PC (Windows 11) and Xbox One, and I'm one of the few players who cares about Vee, the in-game commentary bot that most players hate, but I always enjoyed her personality and the funny random lines she used to say. But since Season 3 released (I am writing this in June, after Season 4), I noticed some things with Vee. I only noticed it yesterday. After Season 3, she was talking less. She didn't really give a lot of her old funny lines, like the ones with the nonsense and random lore. This was the first step into it. Then, after I updated to Season 4 in June, she disappeared completely, both on the Xbox and PC. Then I paused the game, went to the game settings > General to see if the game automatically disabled Vee for some reason, but I didn't even find the Vee toggle. I swear before Season 3, there was a toggle to disable/enable her on all platforms. I liked Vee, and I'm not writing this to betray the players who hate her, so there should still be a toggle. Another thing I noticed is that the NPCs (pedestrians) have toned down. They used to make funny moments and act stupidly and drop random complaints, but now they just walk around normally and drop reasonable complaints or just dodge the skater with no dialogue. Actually, I noticed that I rarely see NPCs anymore. I’m not sure if this was intentional or if something broke during the Season 3 update. If Vee was removed on purpose, it would be helpful to know. But if this is a bug, I wanted to report it because it affects the personality of the game a lot. Once again, others may disagree with me, and that's completely acceptable. It just makes me a little concerned.

    And also if Vee comes back, it would be cool to have her as a guy. A lady yapping around while you skate... is a bit awkward.

    Sup C,

    I hear you on most of the first bubble and the game is in a great spot for hearing out most people since it isn't even fully released as of now but the game is basically out in terms of people who play games. It's not the golden days of gaming anymore where people play alphas and betas and really get a inside scoop of what the game was going to be or where the sequels could go.

    Backing it up to V though, most of that would seem experimental and the hunch is that it's still implemented into the accessibility page but most people or the audience they are reaching for is people who listen to their own music or the radio in game.

    Skate has always experimented with collaboration between how Slappy had multiple lines and then they went for more the skate park route which is why most likely V will still be their but community parks and the collaborations they had with Zex or anyone else in the community will most limited time events as people are always trying to bring people back to the metrics. Hope that helps but best to either get involved with them or maybe the mod community has a outlook in the game but its a corp game so, good luck. Cheers🏒

    the vee gameplay comments toggle has been in the audio settings for a while, i think it was in general until season 2 or 3? it's still there, she still comments on things while skaing!

    also "A lady yapping around while you skate... is a bit awkward" is such a indoorsy thing to say.
