Your focus is off.

You guys made the best base for the best skate game ever. But I think your focus is on the wrong things. I'm going to keep this short. But.....

 

To much of your focus has been on events instead of building on what you have. And that's a SKATEBOARD game. NOT a Fortnite skate game with Halloween and Christmas gifts and events. Most of your efforts lately been on how do we get kids and young teenagers to play this game, and how to we get the most money out of them. 

My daughter came into the living room the other day and said...Oh why you playing Fortnite. Seriously! 

I was so stocked when you made underflips and stuff that evolves around the skateboard community. And you are very good at it. But seriously.... Your focus I so off right now and what people are asking for are just skateboarding. Just like you said you would make years ago. Not a kindergarten sandbox. 

 

When I look at what's been done in the game the last year, most of the stuff is events, packs, adjustment (that should have been there since the start) and other unimportant stuff. Everything that's actually about SKATE CULTURE are just drips here and there.

Please get back on track. And if you devs want ideas just look at my and others latest posts.

    Oh yeah okay I thought you were using it as a pejorative yourself but I see it was just used as a reference. All good then

    When i was still skating there used to be a loooot of homophobia and fragile masculinity. Gay (well actually a different word) was just the goto "insult" the gatekeepy types used, you know those people that "just know" what REAL skating culture should be and what not. So no kids stuff, no feminine stuff, not that music, not those shoes yaddayadda......

    Sorry - what do you mean by "gay game"?

    Honestly a dad worrying about his daughter thinking he´s playing a gay game, pretty much perfectly encapsulates a big part of my experience with skating culture.

    This is a joke, i know that wasn´t what you said or your point.

    But yes that is a big part of the fanbase of this game. I think there should be something for everyone......and there is, but something tells me for certain people it will just never be enough

    I disagree, people actually enjoy these events. Morg in particular is probably the best-received event, 7-ply was my favourite and I still wear the stuff I got from that. Honestly, I don't know what more they could be doing, the whole "Skate culture" thing is really vague and undefined. It seems to me that pros are not the talk of the town in Skateboarding anymore, the focus is on it being a community and social activity, which is what the game has seemingly been built around. The skillset to skateboard has been democratised by social media.

    Skate culture isn't some hairy neanderthal frozen in ice, it's a thing that is actively existing and changing in real time, it reflects the times we are living in. Right now, the most important thing is meeting new people, personal growth and keeping active. So I'd say, this game is the perfect encapsulation of the skate culture that exists today.
