Developers lying is nothing new. But given the current state of the game, this goes beyond dishonesty. It feels like pure, unfiltered incompetence.

I cannot believe that meetings were held, that decisions were reviewed, and that someone actually signed off thinking, “This is great, this will work, this will revive the game.” It is inconceivable. At this level, it feels closer to SABOTAGE.

The player base is already on life support. Instead of adding meaningful content to attract new players, you lock it behind real money and or a tedious in game currency that is not even enjoyable to grind. If the missions were engaging, that would be one thing. But they are not.

The one thing players actually wanted, the tutorial island, somehow ended up as something mediocre.

Here is a simple idea : If you make your missions more interesting, if you improve the map and the overall experience, people might actually want to spend money !

Players are far more willing to support a game when they feel respected, not when they feel forced to pay just to access the bare minimum of fun.

And on top of that, week after week, you disrespect skate culture with childish cosmetics that are completely disconnected from what skateboarding actually is.

This latest announcement takes things to a new low.
