WHY ARE THE DEVS LIKE THIS?

I was reading that the micro transactions are pretty much getting tested too. Anything you spend will be refunded in ingame currency. You get currency playing.

Dude every single game thats Free to play has loot crates. etc. It costs ALOT of money to develop a game. Try millions of dollars. If they wanna put that stuff early who flippin cares. THATS HOW THEY MAKE MONEY. Try going and developing a game so you can start to understand the insane amount of money and work that has to go into it. That might help you better understand the value of a dollar. 

lol people like you are the reason for the current state of the video games... There is no excuse for trying to charge your consumers who volunteer to help develop the game for FREE. It wouldnt be an issue if the game was open to all or at least letting people in when they have been approved . Insane to think that there are still EA defenders to this day.

Your argument is irrelevant when the game is  F2P. This has nothing to do with paid games. Im pretty sure contracted devs are paid and they have devs on salary as well totally common. As a game developer myself i can tell you it takes thousands of hours non stop work to develop a game for people like you to cry about not getting something for free. Do you give out all your money every week for free? NO YOU DO NOT. Games COST MONEY TO DEVELOP. GO complain about a game you actually have to pay to play. 

If you have your community do most if not all of your playtesting (for free), you have no right to add microtransactions to a playtest. If they are running out of money maybe ask Papa EA for more since they add microtransactions to every game paid or F2P. Everyone is so sick of this new gen culture of early access and microtransactions. If you really are a dev you need to be better and realize you are what is wrong with the culture. 

PS Maybe if they actually fixed people not being able to access the game it wouldnt be a huge issue.

PS PS Try not riding a billion dollar corporation so hard

By any chance, do you have a source for this? I haven't heard of this before and this would be big news if true. 

It’s on the forums. Skate insider playtest, then skate insider playtest info hub. The first article is 2 days ago called “skate virtual currency testing 0.26.0”
