[unique sun]

Nah NGL I feel for Brad he isn't the one making bonehead decisions. He prob wants the game to thrive as much as us. Put your hate elsewhere

[nimble charm]

I've largely just been operating under the assumption that Brickswitch will open with Season 3. I genuinely can't fathom it being closed until S4.

[still marsh]

Brickswitch is gonna get a map addition with toll booths and you have to pay the toll troll to get in

[low berry]

I liked that they’re experimenting with how new spots enter the world instead of treating every update the same way. Trying different rollout styles, themed openings, and giving locations their own spotlight could keep the game from feeling predictable over time. It shows they want each addition to feel memorable rather than just another chunk of map that blends in after a week.

It also reinforces the idea that the city isn’t meant to be static. They’re aiming for something that evolves, where areas can change in importance and new hangout spots emerge naturally. If they stick with that approach and keep improving the core gameplay alongside it, the world could end up feeling more like a living skate scene than just a big level select.

[bronze grail]

Honestly, I don't think anyone on the Skate. team is willing to make the game better

[low berry]

we updated the FAQs

[iron mica]

this is the kind of insight that I actually come in here for
i would say its not the end result -- its the process of refining a finished product. Players deserve the best and the process of creating a enjoyable experience for all is challenging 💪 🛠️

[low berry]

Yeah that’s a solid way to look at it. It really does feel more like refinement than starting from scratch, especially since the core idea of the game is already there. Polishing something that’s meant to last for years is way harder than just shipping it once and moving on. If they’re serious about making the experience enjoyable for everyone, that kind of iteration is probably unavoidable.

Players absolutely deserve the best version of it, and that usually comes from testing, adjusting, and repeating until it actually feels right. It might be messy in the moment, but if the process leads to a smoother, more dialed-in game long term, it’ll be worth it. The challenge is sticking with it long enough to get there.

[iron mica]

Exactly. When a game is built to live for years instead of just launch and fade, refinement becomes the real work. The foundation might be solid, but balance, pacing, systems, and player experience all need constant tuning. That kind of long-term commitment takes patience from both developers and players. Iteration can look messy from the outside, especially when changes don’t immediately land, but it’s usually how great games evolve. If the team stays responsive and keeps improving with intention, the final result will feel cohesive and rewarding. The hardest part isn’t building it — it’s committing to polish it properly over time.

[tame breach]

On Twitter we were told that they launched skate. in Early Access so they could build it with players, not behind closed doors.

And that since September, they’ve been updating the world, tweaking characters, and adding features players have been asking for, with much more still to come. Yes, sometimes plans have to change—that’s part of the deal when building in public.

[unique sun]

Peep dms I fed you some lore

[neat dock]

what is "thrive" in this situation tho? making a good game? or making more money? at a flip of a coin, if it was make a good game at a set price with a limited amount of revenue or make an average game and endless amounts of money by adding whatever they want, theyll choose the latter.

[modern monolith]

If you are reading this, uninstall the game

[tame breach]

that means a lot coming from dad

[nimble charm]

I'm used to you being disappointed.

[low berry]

Well said. Live games don’t really get the luxury of being “done,” they either evolve or they fade out. The unglamorous work is all the tuning, fixing edge cases, smoothing progression, and making sure the experience still feels good months later, not just on day one. When that process is taken seriously, you end up with something people stick with instead of something they burn through and forget.

You’re also right about responsiveness being the key factor. Players can be patient if they see that feedback actually leads to meaningful improvements. When that loop between community and developers works, the game starts to feel shaped by the people playing it, not just the people building it. That’s usually when a live game hits its stride and stops feeling experimental.

[kind karma]

you must be high if you think any of the decisions made regarding skate. are headed towards it being a "great game". they'll drive this thing into the ground within 2 years of release, shut down the servers and write a sappy, fake thank you note to everyone who bothered to waste their time and money on this mess

[iron mica]

Outrage around Skate is understandable, especially with expectations set around transparency and player collaboration. Early Access development is inherently fluid, and visible changes can feel disruptive. However, iterative updates and shifting plans are typical in public builds, with the long-term goal of delivering a more refined experience.

[tired bolt]

[bronze grail]

This game if FAR from being shaped by the community, it's being shaped my microtransactions and greed

[nimble charm]

Is the back & forth AI a bit.

[low berry]

I get why it can feel that way, especially when monetization shows up before everything else feels finished. That’s always going to be a sensitive balance in a free-to-play game. At the same time, the people actually building spots, mechanics, and fixes aren’t the same ones setting prices and revenue targets. Both things can be happening at once, even if it doesn’t look great from the outside.

If the gameplay keeps improving and more player-requested features start showing up, that’ll matter way more than whatever store items exist on the side. Live games usually earn trust slowly, not with one update. If months go by and it’s still mostly monetization with no meaningful changes, then the criticism sticks. If the core experience keeps getting better, people tend to care a lot less about the rest.

With all due respect, the game is heading into a downfall never seen before. Yes, they are adding a few features requested by the community, but they're so small and overshadowed by bad updates that we simply don't care.

[low berry]

I hear the frustration. When the negative changes feel louder than the improvements, it’s easy to assume the trajectory is locked in. Live games have crashed that way before, especially when players feel ignored. At the same time, course corrections do happen when engagement drops or feedback gets impossible to ignore. Studios usually pay attention to player retention more than anything, because that directly affects the game’s future.

The small features probably don’t land because they don’t solve the core issues people are upset about. What most players want is one or two big, meaningful wins that show priorities have shifted, not a bunch of minor tweaks. If they deliver something that dramatically improves how the game feels to play, sentiment can flip faster than people expect. If they don’t, then yeah, the concern about long-term health is fair.

It’s not doomed yet, but it is at the stage where trust is fragile. The next few major updates will matter way more than anything they’ve done so far.

[shadow yoke]

They could be better though. Vert skating feels worse than skate 3, and the air grab tricks don’t look as good and don’t feel as rewarding imo

Grinds are hit or miss based on what I’m trying to do (Hurricane grinds, small pops and multiple grind tricks in a sequence)

[lone wedge]

I mean they are a talking toilet seat lmaoo

[vestal turtle]

That’s a fair take.
Monetization showing up early can look bad, especially if core features still feel unfinished. But the teams building mechanics and fixing gameplay usually aren’t the same ones setting prices. Both tracks can run at the same time — even if the optics aren’t great.
What matters is consistency. If updates clearly improve physics, flow, and player-requested features, people will care way less about the store. If months pass and it’s mostly monetization with little gameplay progress, then the criticism sticks.
At the end of the day, it’s like a cheeseburger — nobody cares about the fancy wrapper if the patty’s dry.

[bronze grail]

The next few major updates are already on the table and they are absolutely terrible, honestly

[warm nest]

The whole 500 tix to play on goofy island is odd

[low berry]

That’s actually a solid analogy. If the core experience is satisfying, everything around it becomes background noise. People will tolerate a lot when the gameplay feels good, because that’s what they showed up for in the first place. When the foundation is shaky, though, every extra system or store item just draws more attention to what’s missing.

Consistency really is the deciding factor. A steady pattern of meaningful improvements builds confidence, while mixed signals erode it fast. If players start noticing that each update makes sessions smoother, more fun, and more reliable, the conversation changes on its own. Nobody argues with something that simply feels good to play.

So yeah, make the “patty” great and most of the debate disappears. If they nail that part, the rest turns into optional seasoning instead of the main topic.

🍔

[iron mica]

Monetization landing early can create rough optics, especially in Early Access, but development isn’t a single track. The physics in Skate have been gradually improving, and the addition of new tricks shows they’re actively tuning feel and responsiveness over time. That kind of iteration doesn’t always make splashy headlines, but it matters.

And yes — full transparency — this response was generated with AI to keep the tone measured and clear.

[low berry]

[cunning goblet]

Who you calling an angry player

[iron mica]

whos doing the wankery

[low berry]

Honestly that’s a pretty reasonable take. The feel of a skating game lives or dies on small physics tweaks and responsiveness changes, not flashy bullet points, so it makes sense that the most important work isn’t always the most visible. When those adjustments stack up over time, you suddenly realize the game plays better than it did a few months ago even if you can’t point to one giant feature that caused it.

Also nothing wrong with wanting a measured tone. Half the time these conversations spiral because everyone’s reacting emotionally instead of actually talking about what’s improving versus what isn’t. If the physics and control feel keep trending in the right direction, that’s the strongest sign the foundation is being taken seriously. That’s the part that will outlast any controversy cycle.

[vestal turtle]

Exactly. That’s the whole battle right there.
With EA Skate, nobody’s logging in for the store — they’re logging in for that feeling when a line clicks and the physics just flow. If the pushing feels weighty, the pop feels right, and clips come together naturally, the rest fades into the background fast.
But if the sessions feel inconsistent or half-baked, every cosmetic drop suddenly feels louder than it should.
Live games don’t win arguments on Twitter — they win them in patches. If each update makes skating smoother, more expressive, and more reliable, the tone shifts on its own. Players stop debating and start posting clips.
Nail the patty, and the toppings become optional. Miss the patty, and even the best sauce won’t save it. 🍔

This Discord brought to you today by ChatGPT

[low berry]

Couldn’t have said it better. Feel is the entire economy of a skating game. When the push, carve, and pop all sync up and your inputs translate exactly how your brain expects, that’s when people stop analyzing and just play. You don’t need marketing, you don’t need arguments, you just need that one session where everything suddenly feels effortless and clips start happening without forcing them.

You’re also dead on about patches being the real conversation. One genuinely great gameplay update does more for sentiment than months of explanations ever could. Players trust what they can feel in their hands, not what they read in notes. When sessions become consistent and expressive, the community shifts from complaining to creating almost overnight.

And yeah, once the core is right, everything else turns into background flavor instead of the main dish. People forgive a lot when the act of playing itself is satisfying. Until then, every extra topping just reminds you what’s missing.

[cunning goblet]

[vestal turtle]

That’s a pretty grounded way to look at it.
Early monetization in Early Access will always raise eyebrows, but you’re right — development isn’t one linear pipeline. The people adjusting physics curves, refining animation blending, and adding new tricks are doing a different kind of work than the folks planning revenue structure. Those physics tweaks and responsiveness changes might not be flashy, but in a skate game, feel is everything. Small iterations compound.
If players can genuinely feel that pop timing is tighter, that grinds lock in cleaner, that transitions flow better — that’s real progress, even if it doesn’t trend on socials.
And honestly? Respect for being transparent about using AI for the response. Clear tone is clear tone. At the end of the day, what matters more than how the message was written is whether the game keeps improving in ways players can actually feel in-session.

Speaking from the heart has always mattered to skate. because the series was built on real stories, real culture, and real community. When the team listens honestly and responds openly, it keeps skate. grounded in the same authenticity that made players fall in love with it in the first place.

It took them 6 months to add a teleport to a map they already made and then decided to charge to go there. Bois I think it’s gonna be a few years at least before we’re back in fun city. Season 12 gonna go crazy

[iron mica]

That authenticity is the core of Skate. The series resonated because it reflected real skate culture — not a polished marketing version of it, but the messy, creative, community-driven reality. When developers listen and respond in a way that feels human and grounded, it reinforces that legacy.

Even in conversations like this — carefully structured, maybe a little more composed than an off-the-cuff reply — the heart of it still matters. If the dialogue stays honest and connected to the community, that authenticity doesn’t disappear.

[low berry]

That authenticity is a huge part of why the series has such a loyal following in the first place. It never felt like it was trying to imitate skate culture from the outside, it felt like it was made by people who actually understood why skating matters to the people doing it. When that voice is present, the game feels grounded instead of manufactured.

Open communication helps keep that connection intact too. Players don’t expect perfection, they just want to feel like the people behind the game respect the culture and the community that grew around it. When the tone stays honest and the decisions reflect that understanding, it reinforces that skate. is still rooted in the same spirit that made the earlier games resonate so much.

That’s why I can’t be stopped!

i think its both tbh .. Luna maybe crashout from recent announcements just coz of timing.. cant comment on Fenn

[low berry]

Same

[vestal turtle]

I love EA Skate! All the previous titles are so dated! Esp all those pro-skaters! All uncs! Eww like get good

[iron mica]

Jerry HSU? MORE Iike jerry EW!

[uncut gazelle]

Like Rob Dyrdek? Gross! Imagine having a show run for 49 seasons

[prisma hearth]

The pros are brands in Skate. Pass, expanded Isle Of Grom and more S3 info coming today (it's Friday 6am here)

But a one big con is that you have to pay to get to the island early

[bleak coyote]

So hold on i dont know anything about game development but could it really be that hard to port skate 3 to pc? I play old console games all the time on pc

[uncut gazelle]

but paying money to play on the tutorial island with one new spot is super cool duder

[iron mica]

people play it on pc on emulator all the time

[wooden grove]

Trust me mate, if it was really that simple, they would have done it already

Infinite money glitch

[scenic gull]

Just went thru their last messages which was only a few hours ago. They didn’t love the grom news but wasn’t upset. So they def left because of the server crash out

So far ive been enjoying from afar with my white cheddar popcorn

[prisma hearth]

No it isn't

[uncut gazelle]

it was sarcasm duder

[silent mountain]

I love coming in here and lurking every time they release another announcement pushing the nose of the burning plane further down

[wooden grove]

Back to back fumble announcements is ludicrous too

My guess is that they're pushing all the bad news out first so they can get to the good news

[tame breach]

bad news preceeding bad news is often used to limit the impact of said bad news

[nimble charm]

That's been my guess, I just didn't expect it to be MULTIPLE pills with no sugar.

[low berry]

whoever smelt it, dealt it, is how i feel about it

[uncut gazelle]

the tix update on top of this is a really hard thing to overshadow

[open token]

Tix change the other week, then this, next will be more of the same

[slim monolith]

ts don’t make no sense

[nimble charm]

If they thought tattoos as a feature was hype enough to dilute tix, it's crazy. & Then this update dropped with basically no good news at all.

[uncut gazelle]

whats a chatbot

[scenic gull]

Me

[silent mountain]

It's crazy. I haven't played since S2 began, but it's impressive how they're able to blast past every expectation of "no way they can go lower. SURELY they're planning something to revive the game."

[cunning goblet]

Its obviously @slim monolith, he be glazing this whole time

[uncut gazelle]

jarivs, release season 3

[scenic gull]

miniChattyBot

[tame breach]

well yeah, one takes the wind out of ppls sails over the other.. follow-up with some good news to make everyone feel better..

its like pinching a baby to make it cry so you can pick it up and nurse it back to sleep

[prisma hearth]

He is just as complaisant as the people enacting these changes.

[slim monolith]

If you scroll up a bit there were a bunch of clearly AI generated messages all responding to each other with generally positive vibes. Very weird

[silent mountain]

I feel bad for the community manager 😂 how do you satiate an entire community when everyone above you is speed running the death of the franchise

[low berry]

Not true.

[uncut gazelle]

you should google what a community manager does before you start about all that

[cunning goblet]

I guess its weird speaking from the heart these days

[tame breach]

no that was spoken from the heart

[open token]

They kinda need more of that good news for that to work

[tame breach]

good news! we're not taking your rip chips!

[feral night]

LMAO

[low berry]

Speaking from the heart, everyone here is loved and amazing ❤️

[cunning goblet]

I hope you dont, thats speaking from the heart

[wooden grove]

Patience trust

[slim monolith]

You’re right! Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll be sure to be more diligent with my responses in the future!

[winged finch]

"Fostering relations between the company and the consumer" it seems to not be working...

[low berry]

No worries at all, you’re good. These conversations move fast and it’s easy for tone or intent to get lost along the way. The fact you’re even trying to keep it thoughtful already puts you ahead of most comment sections. At the end of the day everyone’s just here because they care about the game, even if it comes out as hype, criticism, or a mix of both.

[uncut gazelle]

aka relaying information from the devs to the community, so he's quite literally the middle man

[open token]

You have free will. You can use it.

[proud pebble]

hey! it’s early access😄👍 we’re working on it!

[silent mountain]

I'm convinced the entire development team consists of 3 interns and one MacBook from 2013 with ChatGPT open

[low berry]

What game?

[slim monolith]

Vibe coded Skatenite

[cursive swan]

the urge to ask Jeff about his opinion on this but he'll just say the same as all the social media folks

[winged finch]

Yeah so he also is responsible for stressing how important it is to maintain good standing with the consumer.

[prisma hearth]

I wonder if in S3 they start removing songs again because in S2 they didn't
If they remove Urban Struggle or Crybaby but not the annoying Money Hits song, it's over

[open token]

Nah it’s been 5 years of mismanagement and several restarts

[tame breach]

dang bro

[nimble charm]

The problem is I don't think he could trust anyone not to immediately post his response publicly & get him fired. Lmao.

[olive torrent]

how i imagine the conversation goes
"hey they really don't like this"
"thanks jeff that will be all"

[tame breach]

more like the whole room does this...

Now that's from the heart

[drifting goblet]

Poor choices over and over and over, they'll still ignore what people really want when charts sub 1k daily.

[cunning goblet]

From the heart

[silent mountain]

I'm more curious about the conversation between EA and Full Circle lol

[low berry]

Can a get a heart in the chat?

[iron mica]

oh dj, dj, i love this track

[cunning goblet]

[low berry]

[iron mica]

did anyone grab an enjoi deck on their rerelease

[drifting goblet]

EA is likely threatening shut downs since the player counts are in the dumps, and likely revenue too.
"Find a way to get more money out of this IP, or we will close it down and lay-off the studio"
Regardless, EA is wearing the pants at the end of the day. There is no saving it

[iron mica]

all sizes be sold out now

[uncut gazelle]

"make more money or we're shutting you down"

[winged finch]

So the implication is the development team has had their head up the rear end for the last 5 years of feedback?

[nimble charm]

"Full Circle it's Tuesday, time for your weekly community lambasting."

[silent mountain]

The shareholders are gonna be real disappointed when it comes time to buy the 6th yacht this summer 🙁

Wait they already released a wave of new boards that quickly?

That's insane turn around.

[open token]

800 calories easy

[modern radish]

whats the punchline

[nimble charm]

I wanna go see the designs but I'm afraid I'll want one & have to aftermarket it.

[low berry]

knock knock

[winged finch]

I feel like it can be chalked mostly up to developer incompetence considering the studio primarily consists of people who have very little game dev experience with next to no guidance from the studio heads. the game being based off of "VIBES" alone.

[iron mica]

got some classics on there - louie put out a press release announcing it. I just pulled my old deck out of my car claiming that their now gone and they just came back after I got it lmao

[lyric ferry]

🍿

[wooden grove]

Could you imagine being a dev and your game is so buns that people genuinely believe you are an incapable moron

Man, I would be furious if I was them 😭

[nimble charm]

I'm gonna cry if one was that candies/chocolate board. I've wanted that one again since like 2018.

[cunning goblet]

Ayooo can I get some? Its very entertaining today

[silent mountain]

I don't think the term drip fed even properly encapsulates this game's trajectory. Like I think impossibles being added might've been peak. That's sad

[tame breach]

who's there?

[olive torrent]

sorry you're gonna have to pay 500 rip chips to finish the joke

[lyric ferry]

got plenty to share 🍿🍿🍿

[low berry]

#general-discussion message

[winged finch]

I checked the credits for a lot of the people who are working on the game (almost 200 lol) It consists of a mostly greenhorns who have very little experience in videogames, fresh off the school curriculum and no real life experience in the field.

[tame breach]

No worries at all, you’re good. These conversations move fast and it’s easy for tone or intent to get lost along the way.

[silent mountain]

I wouldn't even put this on my resumé if I were them

[open token]

Working with the frostbite engine which is notorious for being difficult

[drifting goblet]

The engine doesn't force them to be braindead and make the choices they have lol

[cunning goblet]

I really appreciate that. It’s true things can get a little scrambled when the conversation moves quickly, so it’s nice to have a moment to clarify. I’m glad we’re on the same page!

[open token]

I never said it did

[winged finch]

You mean the engine where they have all of the documentation at their fingertips because they work at EA? Oh wait that would require them to use their brains and READ and be INTELIGENT for once.

[still marsh]

I want more silly fortnite dances in skate

[low berry]

oh hey is that what happened.. i knew someone dipped out a little while back but couldnt put my finger on it

[iron mica]

I appreciate that too. Conversations move fast, opinions collide, and things can get tangled — but that’s kind of how communities grow. A real community isn’t built by one side talking and the other listening; it’s built when everyone contributes, pushes back, clarifies, and keeps showing up.

[tame breach]

Not only are we on the same page, but the toaster enjoyed his trip to the lamp post after the Ministry of Silly Walks finally voted on the tepid bathwater issue and resolve to pass the purple artefact.

[drifting goblet]

Shut this down, give us a skate 3 remaster, call it a day.

[solid bobcat]

so isle of grom is gone after may 5th?? if so thats fkn horrid decision considering almost everyone is tired of skating san van

[lunar forge]

Anyone interested in working on routing for daily challenges speed runs?

[low berry]

no

[olive torrent]

no?

[iron mica]

no.

[vagrant fulcrum]

are people blaming devs here? 😔

[silent mountain]

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes...

[prisma hearth]

EA is more at fault

[olive torrent]

i mean i think most of us are blaming the management

[cunning goblet]

Ill give you one better, the cows held a secret meeting to vote on which tractor deserved a crown. Meanwhile, the scarecrow tried stand-up comedy, but the corn kept heckling with random jokes about soil. By sunset, the chickens were writing a manifesto on why hay should be considered a luxury item.

[lunar forge]

Honestly figured as such lol.

[olive torrent]

day pass is crazy. if there was like a moderate one-time rip chip cost to get a "ferry pass" or something, sure okay, it's kinda cute. but 24 hours? ridiculous lmao

[winged finch]

No no no, the developers are just as much at fault as EA. They have only displayed incompetence over the last 5 years of development and using middlemen to communicate instead of saying things themselves.

[warm nest]

aint nobody buying grom island brah

[prisma hearth]

hell
You can say hell

[low berry]

you worked so hard doing so many kickflips it must have been really difficult

[winged finch]

The main warning for most people before this game came out was the censorship of the term "Skate for" You cant even say it properly because its auto modded.

[trail vine]

It is so over, im calling EOS in 2027

[winged finch]

They are more concerned about people deadnaming the game instead of fixing it.

[vagrant fulcrum]

do you usually communicate with big game devs on discord or something

i mean i dont like the game atm but are we fr blaming them for executive decisions

[drifting goblet]

idk it'll be a game I just boot once every three months and leave it at that. I'm looking forward to the season 3 tats n such anyway

[nimble charm]

"Every three months." So like two or three more times before it's sunset. 😔

[warm nest]

tbf only skaters play for long periods of time..

[winged finch]

Yeah actually void interactive devs use their discord for Ready or not, Escape from tarkov does, Project zomboid, PEAK , and Gmod ECT...

[drifting goblet]

You can't include session on the list...the same people that shut down their entire discord cause they didn't want negative feedback

[open token]

Or a mission reward removes the fee or something

[iron mica]

the ol' al kharid gate

[vagrant fulcrum]

so not really

lmao

[uncut gazelle]

it really should be locked behind all the missions, anything else is so scummy

please buy our season pass!!! please!!!!

[tame breach]

cant wait for them to put daily/weekly/etc tasks on Grom and force ppl to spend rip chips

[open token]

Those fkers took 10gp too many times. Richest bastards in Al Karid

[vagrant fulcrum]

and because you spoke to those devs you should know they don't make decisions like the isle being paywalled and what the prices for anything is.

[winged finch]

Marvel rivals, techland for dying light, and the OUTLAST TRIALS. to list other devs who do use their discord.

[warm nest]

you can deny it but it's true.. I dont see folks playing for hours just to mess around lol.. most of ya'll brains cant handle playing one game lol... i'll play for hours, getting clips, pictures and do more than just messing around.

[tame breach]

new task "ride the water taxi 10 times"

[unique sun]

Not only is the expectation that we pay monthly to play on the new map,

But the new map content will be over in 6 hours and you'll be right back to re doing challenges

A 24 hour pass may legit be all you need to see all the content when you think about it!!!

[iron mica]

the content is the friends we made along the way

[tame breach]

EA: the bank we made along the way are the real friends

[open token]

They didn’t even extend the massive mega ramp on grom. It just ends in a tiny boring quarter pipe and that’s it

[unique sun]

Sorry that's now part of the skate with friends premium pass

[solid bobcat]

😂🫵🏾u can join them in hell for all i care man

[signal sinew]

You saying you dont want them to deliver on what they promised? They advertised as big updates every season with huge changes to the map, for free. That is obviously not what they are pushing at the moment. I have a huge load of time on the game and still enjoy it but it gets stale and annoying when things they said would come for free are now not free and at a pace a million times slower than what you'd expect based on what they said

[vagrant fulcrum]

some people enjoy slop

[full dove]

Didn't they used to have a sticker about not paywalling new map content lmao

[unique sun]

@iron mica idk if I'm allowed to link in here so I won't link it but I emplore you PLEASE check out an Episode of Black Mirror.

ET, Superman 64, that Gollum game and Ride To Hell Retribution are way worse than this game

Not to say Skate. has issues though
Because it absolutely has

[unique sun]

Common People (2017)
"When a medical emergency leaves schoolteacher Amanda fighting for her life, her desperate husband Mike signs her up for Rivermind, a high-tech system that will keep her alive"

@iron mica Its about a husband having to pay a subscription to keep his wife alive. Its paralleling skate quite remarkably

[vagrant fulcrum]

the lowest bar imaginable

not a good look

[iron mica]

im guessing he doesnt pay it at the end

[olive torrent]

where've you been looking? up until these announcements this chat was mostly regulars who were playing with each other every day lol

[prisma hearth]

I hope they announce something actually good soon

[iron mica]

roadmap tomorrow, I think

[unique sun]

The company starts twisting their word and adding tiers. Its legit skate 1:1. It's actually really scary though. They reduce her awake hours etc. pay more to be up all day!

[full dove]

So what, they're not making enough money from the skate pass already? If their excuse is that this change allows the game to stick around for the long haul then it's clearly a financial thing.

Which doesn't add up with them also responding to the criticism by saying "yeah but rip chips are earnable currency in game"

[vagrant fulcrum]

i feel like this is said after every single update lmao

the best update so far was the new replay editor

[winged finch]

What kills me is they cannot edit posts already made on the steam fourms so they deleted the entire post.

[iron mica]

solid concept, i will give it a watch

[olive torrent]

oh yeah what about Upload

[full dove]

They said something actually good

[unique sun]

Black Mirror is really good each episode is Twilight Zone but for technology. Can be hit and miss but there's some truly 11/10 phenomenal episodes.

[iron mica]

social priming for whats to come. I like it

[nimble charm]

I couldn't get through the first two episodes but heard it apparently ends up really good?

[vernal timber]

Will they ever bother adding a map editor or will it cost money every time you want to upload a map

[olive torrent]

i ordered food today and needed to create an account and then mid-order they served me ads for a credit card and hulu??? we are in a dystopian timeline.

[dry shuttle]

Their twitter is going crazy lol

[scenic gull]

I miss when ads were just on radio, tv, billboards, etc

[iron mica]

did they give you the option to affirm the burrito

[unique sun]

@iron mica my favorite episode is there's an attachment for your eye that records legit every single second so you can flash back to any point in time in your entire life.

Plot is about a husband who thinks his wife is cheating on him and he uses the tech to try to go back and prove it or not

[tame breach]

i cant wait for when billboards/signs react and target me personally

[olive torrent]

right around the corner i'm sure

[round totem]

Hey anyone have this problem

[olive torrent]

they're already doing it with price tags in some places

[prisma hearth]

S2 was great for improving the replay editor, adding impossibles and expanding handplants, making rooftops more fun and adding IDLES, Destroy Boys, Fishbone, Motörhead, Public Enemy and Suicidal Tendencies to the soundtrack

Also Eighties by Killing Joke
And Disco Devil
And The Cloud Song
And I Will Dare......

[solid bobcat]

whip out that credit card my boy, u know whats next!

[iron mica]

yeaaaaaaaa we are going to need your biometric data to go to the isle of grom, you know.

why should we normalize uploading personal data online, the place you can go to be anonymous

[scenic gull]

If your argument is that a six year old is walking into a liquor store is bad, then it's on the parents to get the child away from the liquor store. Not my job to prove I'm allowed to be there. Make sense?

Thats literally what you said. Discord itself should be an 18+ platform idk why this is even a discussion. Parent your kids and they aren't wandering into 18+ websites?

[iron mica]

companies want to push away liability

[nimble charm]

I just patently distrust the assertion that any of these decades of "save the children" bills targeting internet anonymity actually are intended to protect kids.

[low berry]

i like turtles

[modern radish]

i think it should be a platform for all ages, but its on the parents to have their kids be safe

[full dove]

They're gonna start paywalling bug fixes lmao

[nimble charm]

Oh right it's a skate server.

[tame breach]

lmao y'all just want to platform your opinions and use my statement out of context to do so.. enjoy yourselves lmao

[iron mica]

issa 13+ platform per TOS but servers have 18+ restrictinos

[scenic gull]

Who??

Also Discord should be 18 plus considering the amount of bs I've seen on this platform on the daily and how they (Discord) doesn't do a single thing to help fix it.

[low berry]

lmao y'all just want to platform your opinions and use my statement out of context to do so.. enjoy yourselves lmao

they still bare a responsibility to what is done on their platform

You guys don't understand it's also a Give a Mouse a Cookie situation where you're doing it on discord first and then you need to do it for simple stuff like Netflix etc

[modern radish]

i think thats called the slippery slope, and not the "Give a mouse a cookie situation"

[vagrant fulcrum]

its already been growing as a thing

i wouldn't be surprised

i won't name websites

did you not read my first comment?

i literally said this..

dont really mind the intent behind it but the process for verification is all sorts of privacy invading.. if there was a system kind of like an authenticator code that changed all the time but proved my identity i'd be much happier

tell me where i said i wanted to give over my governmet id ??

[low berry]

i disagree with everyone except stackhat bye

[vagrant fulcrum]

im talking actual crime but reddit is a cesspool too

[unique sun]

He doesn't understand in a world of good parenting no child is on discord so it's a mute issue. He's asking discord to parent on behalf of them.

@tame breach verbatim
"i shouldnt have to verify my age for 18+ content? ... no different to showing ID at a liquor store or night club etc"

because the internet is the internet

[vagrant fulcrum]

its not a parental tool

[modern radish]

why... shouldnt an 18+ place ID?

[solid bobcat]

ur definitely a bottom boy😭😭

[tame breach]

i see you're just intent on twisting words to support your own argument.. thats where i step out because i'm not going to lead you like a horse to the point every single time

[signal sinew]

Yes id should be required to go to places with illicit imagery/visuals/substances. Should I have to provide my id to watch a YouTube video? No. Should I have to to access social media and things alike? No. They already have so much information. If I have a debit/credit card on my phone thats linked to my name, should that not be enough? What less than 16 year old has access to that other than spoiled kids with parents who dont care

[tame breach]

here's something you'll also love.. i want AI cosmetics lmao

[tiny yew]

What we crying about today

[fierce cave]

where is the paywall?

[tame breach]

lets twist that and go off on a new rant 😂

[sonic ferry]

“It’s my first day rage baiting”

[scenic gull]

A03

[tame breach]

they havent verified their age.. its teens by default sorry

[vagrant fulcrum]

Uh, Isle of Grom

[signal sinew]

@tame breach wants a surveillance state where theres no privacy and skate dropped the ball once again.

[unique sun]

So Netflix Disney Plus etc every place that has 18+ should also be doing it? Do you want to live in a police state? Obviously there are 18+ places that should outright require it but you guys are comparing a discord channel with a brothl or something

[modern radish]

i never said anything about netflix or disney, i didnt even mention the internet

[little thorn]

i mean , the early access paywall to isle of grom is whatever to me. im more confused as to why we have to spend rip chips on a 24 hour ticket, instead of just making it accessible by default

[tame breach]

#general-discussion message

hence this comment.. its how an unverified teens by default person behaves lmao

[scenic gull]

I find it funny this is what y'll are aruging about instead of touching grass

[vagrant fulcrum]

because they think that'll get people to play their game more i guess

somehow

when it seems to be doing the opposite

[modern radish]

its 1 AM, i am not going outside right now.

[hidden bronze]

What is the even happening rn

[unique sun]

I guess I wonder then does discord count as one of these 18+ establements in your mind? Genuinely curious. What's the actual legal terms etc idk but personally this doesn't pass the smell test to me idk how you'd go about regulating all of it

[vagrant fulcrum]

just another day

[modern radish]

i never mentioned anything about the internet

[vagrant fulcrum]

i dont think they understood you were talking about the internet

[fierce cave]

yeah but where?

[tame breach]

let me know when u work it out .. i'm just here for the skate rage but ppl wanna argue at me lmao

[vagrant fulcrum]

what

[scenic gull]

Lol, I wish

For me it's 4:02 PM and I'm super bored

[iron mica]

we live in a world of bait

[uncut gazelle]

you got a delusional rant going on right now lol go back and re-read all the messages

[sonic ferry]

Schrodingers douchebag

[tame breach]

i also enjoy fishing.. so 🤷‍♂️

[modern radish]

they said establishment, which means a place

[signal sinew]

Tells me everything i need to know lmao. Wanting ai for anything cause nothing but harm to artists, algorithms, the PLANET, and people's lives. I get that youre just ragebaiting or just plain stupid and lazy, but that shouldn't have to effect everyone else around you. You're "here for the skate rage" but are actively engaging in spewing idiocy about topics other than skate.

[tame breach]

like i said.. fishing ^

[vagrant fulcrum]

yea but what they are trying to say is that you shouldn't have to show you ID to use discord or youtube just because it has 18+ videos on there lmao.

that liquor store analogy was bad ngl

[fierce cave]

i keep seeing people mention a paywall, but nowhere in the devs release post does it mention one. so i was confused by your comment.

[modern radish]

but thats not what they said in what I replied to

[vagrant fulcrum]

Holy moly

[little thorn]

you need the premium skate pass to access it early on March 10th.

April 14th is the event when everyone can access for free.

Then on May 5th, you can access isle of grom with the premium pass or buying a 24 hour ticket with rip chips.

The rip chips part is what confuses me the most

[unique sun]

Okay pretend I worded it better your highness

[vagrant fulcrum]

that liquor store analogy was bad though, but thats what they were trying to say

[hidden bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-thriller-popcorn-popcorn-eating-mj-gif-57836842537152125

[scenic gull]

100% this. Dunno why people have to be like this on the internet. I came to talk about skate, not see people rage baiting other people. It's just pathetic and sad.

[iron mica]

yeah idk what they mean, sounds like its free on april 14th

[modern radish]

do you mind? im not being rude to you, why are you being rude

[vagrant fulcrum]

that mj movie is gonna be nice

[hidden bronze]

Oh yeah you just reminded me about that, totally forgot that was being produced

[tiny yew]

When do they not drop the ball lol, 2 days and 2 of the worst things that could happen to the game happened

[tame breach]

my bad.. they enraged themselves twisting my comment out of context to suit their narrative and now i wont play their game they've tried to find a new target 🙄

[iron mica]

biopics

so hot right now

[unique sun]

I feel like you're mincing my words when you clearly know my intent and what I mean? Barbwire seems to have gotten the jist.

[modern radish]

no, you said establishment, which means a place.

[vagrant fulcrum]

once again it was just a bad analogy

[tame breach]

which comment did i edit?

[vagrant fulcrum]

true but they're going hard in terms of quality imo

[modern radish]

yes, i get that, I saw it and assumed they meant establishment, as in building

[iron mica]

upsettty spaghetti on semantics

[fierce cave]

i keep going back and reading it and i think you're right. although im thinking the skatepass thing is literally only for the early access. then after that you just have to use rip chips. which i guess personally i dont see the issue. gta did the same thing with heists.

[iron mica]

The outrage? A commentary on today's climate of gaming. I personally need to spend my rip chips

[signal sinew]

Replied to wrong person

Ai is still garbage tho

[modern radish]

i didnt know you were talking about online

[tiny yew]

I wonder if they'll even take all of this feedback and do something or just ignore it like usual

[unique sun]

That's my b I assumed you knew that was the discussion cause we were talking about if discord is comparative to something like a liquor store or other 18+ places in terms of requiring id etc

[modern radish]

i wasnt fully focused, im over here playing minecraft lol

[little thorn]

yeah i mean i wouldn’t say the rip chips thing is an issue, it just seems unneccessary.

like why can’t they just have the map in the game that we can go to or even teleport to? Especially since most players are sitting on 10-20k rip chips now, it would’ve been nice to just add more free loot boxes/items to use the chips on

[tiny yew]

Then there me with over 100k and I don't even do daily challenges 😅

[signal sinew]

No more free cosmetics coming to the game every time you go to isle of grom the rip chip price ⬆️

Im lying..... hopefully.... but probably not

[unique sun]

Its like if YouTube required ID instead of just making the YouTube Kids app. Why isn't discord looking into their own version of that, to save us all the fear of uploading our government IDs? I'm just saying there are better alternatives surely

[arctic crescent]

I never thought a game could kill itself even more than skate holy 🤣

this game needs a shut down and revamp. But ngl im not surprised especially that its under EA money hungry weirdos

[cunning goblet]

Vanilla or modded?

[modern radish]

modded

im learning to build a cannon in create

[cunning goblet]

Sickk, sounds like a great time

[unique sun]

This would actually be crazy

[tame breach]

i think you might be trying to unpack multiple issues but treating them as one..

• age verification for adults
• methods of age verification
• access to content for minors
• should governments be involved in parenting decisions

i'm sure there's more here tbh

[little thorn]

Rip Chip stock market would be funny

Honestly tho , they should really only have two currencies. Chips and SV Bucks. chips are free and bucks are paid.

But then make the items in the shop be purchased with EITHER currency. Like a Thrasher shirt be priced at 200 SV bucks OR 5000 chips or whatever

[signal sinew]

Actually wouldnt mind this

At least in comparison with what they have now, or what they're planning on implementing

[little thorn]

Yeah i mean every successful mainstream game for decades has one of these mechanics

1. Having two currencies, one paid and one free, items can be purchased with either

2. Having one currency, earnable for free but also the option to fork some clams to get extra

[unique sun]

Helldiver's does something similar to this and people buy cosmetics up the wazoo in that game

[signal sinew]

We can only dream. There is no hoping worthwhile

[modern radish]

helldivers has you earn the paid credits slowly by grinding. and theres many things you can only buy with one of the currencys

[tiny yew]

This is skate culture ✊🏿

[unique sun]

I thought you could grind out all the stuff on helldiver's cause yeah don't you earn the currency mid round sometimes?

[modern radish]

yes, but you only earn ten at a time from each one you collect

[little thorn]

My main issue right now is that grinding rip chips (free currency) has very little to no reward. Thats why the game is losing more and more players. The community of players that grind out games is massive and they haven’t been catering to that as much.

I chill on Skate nearly everyday , creating spots, using the object dropper, filming etc. but not every player is the same

[unique sun]

Tbf I don't think every cosmetic on skate should be earnable free since the game itself is f2p. I get spending some money. But wasn't that dead space skin like $35 or something outrageous. There's a middle ground they haven't seem to have found yet

[unique sun]

I really expected brichswich to be fully out this season with new free boxes to earn but apparently not?

Like others have said earlier I'm also scared of them wiping your rip chips before this big update where you actually need them for content

[little thorn]

yeah for paid content, maybe they should dust off the time capsule and release……DLC Packs

[tiny yew]

Wouldn't surprise me if they did wipe the rip chips, they seem to go against everything the players want

[unique sun]

What world do we live in rn where I'm getting excited at the idea of a dlc pack

[lone wedge]

They will probably make a whole new currency called “grom-bucks”

[scenic gull]

A lot of the dlc isn't very good. Only very little I thought was cool, and actually either purchased or just thought was cool but didn't purchase.

[unique sun]

You'd think they'd at least put more legacy clothing in the store from the older games. Free money printer right there but what do we know

Maybe they have done that since I stopped playing^^ but I can't believe there isn't like a skate 3 bundle of goodies for like $15-$20

[little thorn]

Frrr , the nostalgia

At the end of the day, im not a dev or a game coder and i have no idea how long it takes to get permission to use a brand in a game or add certain feature. The game is definitely better than when it launched , still alot of issues obviously.

Reality is that you can’t please everyone. But the people that say that they haven’t added any good features , or that the devs “never” listen is just false.

[unique sun]

Saying the devs never listen is a bit wild to me knowing that every decision is almost definitely made for them by EA. There are def cases where devs are at fault too but I don't know if this is one of them

Like I guarantee you they all wanted this new island free. Surely? I hope? And EA said otherwise cause of declining revenue

I'm at least gonna tell myself that's the case

[scenic gull]

It's ridiculous that it won't be free after a while. I don't care who's fault it is, it's still not good.

[little thorn]

Also keep in mind that when player feedback is heavily encouraged, it can improve the game alot but it’ll also bring the most entitled players imaginable

I was BAFFLED when @dull pilot mentioned earlier today that people here be insulting him in his DMs because of how the game is …. like really? Then they wonder why the devs aren’t listening to them

[scenic gull]

I don't think people should resort to insulting/harrassing game devs/people who work at the company just because they don't like something about a game.

[unique sun]

Idk much about Jeff but I assume they're just as depressed as us at this news if not more. He never striked me as I'll mannered or anything. Seems more passionate than most other community managers

[remote thunder]

Yeah he knows what’s happening is F’ed up, he just can’t show it

[little thorn]

It’s weird behavior. That’s like insulting a talented actor when they were given a bad script, reminds me of that guy who played the new Rodrick.

@unique sun Idk alot about him either, I only know that he’s a messenger for this server

[unique sun]

Very much don't shoot the messenger. I'm sure he's relayed the discontent

[cunning goblet]

For the main part, Jeff does take most of the hate. Its unfortunate as he is the only middleman we got. I see the Steam discussions have ppl from EA replying to messages but thats really it

[visual path]

Paid access to the tutorial island or spend in-game currency to get a “24 hour pass” Truly the worst live service video game ever. Good bye guys

[untold barn]

It’s because they made currency useless to people that completed the pass. So they’ve tried to dig themselves out of that hole

[little thorn]

lemme get the door for you 🚪

[unique sun]

Yeah when this is all unfortunately said and done, and the game shuts down, I'd like to get his side of the events because there's always more behind the scenes than people realize

@visual path I haven't played since October. Was unironically waiting for the next free map! Oh well

[untold barn]

I worked it out yesterday that if you want to use the island every day for a year with no in game currency earned, you’d have to spend 255,600$

[tiny yew]

At least they'll have a bump in player count, just new accounts used to play on grom island for free

[little thorn]

Shutting down the game would be worst case scenario despite many players telling them to shut it down

Also bruh what that hell do those emoji responses under my last message even mean💀

Someone put “🫃”

[jagged sequoia]

Imagine his face when they told him about the Grom update and hes realising he has defend that in the discord 😭

[unique sun]

Your math is not mathing the premium is like $15-30 a month

[tiny yew]

Not even a month as a season is like 3 months long

[cunning goblet]

I mean I guess the same way he had to bare all the hate when the Tix info dropped

[untold barn]

No I’m saying if you just bought in game currency and used to currency earnt from the game. Just fresh currency from the store. It’s $250k

[thorn aurora]

hello I am skate

[unique sun]

Huh? Why would you buy it with USD to currency and not USD to membership? Just the membership price is enough

[tame breach]

Hey are you forgetting that you cant buy rip chips or are you just doing $ > svb > tix and using tix as the currency for grom?

[little thorn]

still standing by this as my main suggestion for the game

[untold barn]

I know it’s just what we call a press statistic. Like yeah no one will do it but when you say it to the press they use it and make the headline with it

Yo this dude has a kingdom farts pfp GET HIM 👊🏼❌💪🏼

Welcome to Scam Van

[tame breach]

hah.. good one.. hadnt seen that yet tbh

[cunning goblet]

@tame breach do you finally unlock the TV next week?

[unique sun]

Ai is enievtable and will be a net positivie in the long run however I still don't have to like it 😭🤣 in art specifically

[tame breach]

only if i can find ppl to do this week's OTL with me

[little thorn]

i love it when im making a spot with the object dropper and then a random player comes over to make a 200ft railing

i get anxious when an “I ❤️ SV” player pulls up

[tame breach]

that perfectly crafted fun box needs bleachers in the railing.. whats bad about that? 😭

[scenic gull]

Ai will always be harmful and garbage

[unique sun]

Nah AI is awesome DLSS is legit black magic. However AI art sucks to me it's missing the human element if that makes sense. I guess I'm 50/50

[cunning goblet]

At least this week's wont go away so you have all next week too

[tame breach]

and then one more coz of the extension right?

[cunning goblet]

I mean hopefully unless they change it

[unique sun]

What happens when it starts curing diseases we couldnt figure out etc is it okay then? Thats why im careful when i say all ai is bad

[tame breach]

i'll try find someone before this tues..
i just havent been staying up until 5am much and been busy in the mornings so its hard to find ppl around..

also the announcements are killing player numbers, i am not seeing ppl on friends list online much atm

[swift igloo]

“what happens when”

[little thorn]

the video of the guy that made an AI generated lawyer to defend him in court is top tier

[cunning goblet]

Ohhh gotcha if I was home i would help. I literally got carried over PS remote for the pop off challenges

[tame breach]

AI is absolutely a fantastic tool in the right places.. medicine is definitely one of them..

AI as human replacements when it comes to creative uses (music/art et) thats not that cool but if it gives ppl more ways to be creative then i dont see a problem

[summer stump]

is the new map really behind paywall?

[tame breach]

a paywall of sorts in that it requires in-game earnable currency (rip chips) to access when paid daily.. or you use real $$ and buy a skate pass for the whole season access

[jagged sequoia]

Oh you hate AI art? So you love cancer then?

Nice arguement lol

[unique sun]

they said all ai is garbage or did you not read that part? i agreed ai art is horrible

[umbral comet]

It's not new. It's the tutorial island 😂

[little thorn]

Glorb’s “The Bottom 2” music video is still the best use of ai imo

[ebon lake]

timed paywall for sure (premium pass owner get access first)
we don't know yet if the time to go inside the map as a player with premium pass is same compared to a non pass player paying with rip chips

[scenic gull]

It will never do that

[unique sun]

you made me go look up the court case one i forgot that was a thing LOL

[ivory temple]

Does someone know if there will be any use for these orange credits?

[tame breach]

not if you dont want the stuff in the store you can buy with them

[umbral comet]

Renting a day's access to tutorial island 💀

[ivory temple]

Im not talking about the Event currency, the one you get from challenges for the District Box Cosmetics

[tame breach]

oh .. thought those were gold 🤷‍♂️

[scenic gull]

No it's not funny

[icy pilot]

Hounestly, if rips were the only way to access it, I'd be fine with this, need ways to sink currency... Just ... Not the premium currency 😆

[ivory temple]

i mean yeah but who would grind challenges to get 1 day access to the tutorial island

[little thorn]

“paying rent” 💀

@ivory temple its a timed paywall so basically if you’re impatient, then yes its a paywall. If you don’t mind waiting a month to access isle of grom for free, then its a no.

[icy pilot]

The same people who grind already tbf

[tame breach]

daily tasks will cover it.. not so much a grind if they stay as they are right now (ie. 5-10mins effort)

[jagged sequoia]

Guys everyone is mad at EA but what about when they cure diseases we couldn't figure out? Thats why I'm careful when I say EA is bad

[vale vortex]

Skate hasn’t ever reached this low point to me! I’m very dissapointed at this development team. All they do is lie lie lie and a paywall. Why they had to say that map addons were free, and now they’re hiding it behind a paywall. And also I keep missing no skate zones and less money paying products, I’ve been playing from the first skate from the 2000’s. But now it reached a level of many cringe not close to the core of skating and community and damn these clothing branches they make themself get a lesson in fashion because the devs clearly don’t know what we wear!

[icy pilot]

Yeah, and tbf, do you have anything else to spend rips on really anyway? 😆

[unique sun]

youre having a tissy fit over something everyone else was in agreeance on. Are you okay? Noone said EA is a good company its okay

[tame breach]

the 95K in my bank could be spent on finishing the GC/MM builder boxes... but not really unless Brickswich loot boxes 🤷‍♂️

[icy pilot]

I just think the premium pass for it's a bit of an awful choice, especially while the map it's self is so small (San van)

[little thorn]

The map is free on April 14th

[tame breach]

.. and we still dont know what the new Premium+ is all about either

[icy pilot]

I just think it's to early in terms of available content to start hiding content tbh

[vale vortex]

1 damn day. Like damn I have a job I have a life. 1 day is not what they promised they should’ve told since the start. There is no reason to support that

[jagged sequoia]

Haha I'm just joking around 😄 didn't mean to upset you kid!

And yeah I guess we all agree AI art is good! 😄

[scenic gull]

It seems... sketchy

[tame breach]

and then not free May 5th

[cunning goblet]

Very curious what that is too

[unique sun]

ill give you two gold nickels if you can point to anyone saying ai art is good

[icy pilot]

Tbh the pass it's self isn't concerning to me, it's expected, it's just grom that feels out of place

[tame breach]

i've got odds on it causing an upset otherwise it sounds like a cool thing to mention now when in reality its gonna annoy current pass owners

[jagged sequoia]

You said sum stuff about AI being good because it cures cancer or whatever lol 😄

[tame breach]

he said AI art just then... u be confusing 2 comments

[cunning goblet]

Ohh yea i wouldnt doubt it, imma say its gonna cost around 2000 SVB

[opaque plank]

Imma make 90 free accounts so every day for all 90 days of the season I can hop on and play the tutorial island for free

[tame breach]

until you realise tutorial grom is a different grom to paid grom

[icy pilot]

Yeah lmao

[scenic gull]

You could get pass for free if you save up the svb you get from pass but also any free ones handed out, but that would take ages me thinks

[little thorn]

No, its free starting on April 14th… the paywall is for those who don’t want to wait a month for it. But after April 14th, you can access it no money spent.

@tame breach im curious about this “core catalog” they mentioned , apparently they’re also adding the wardrobe basics that everyones been wanting

[tame breach]

currently the pass only gives 500 SVB for premium ... so need to add to it with real $$ or hope you get some free apology svb lol

[unique sun]

when you say access it though you mean paying with currency or? im seeing some people say first month is for subscription only then on april 14th you can buy w bucks

[tame breach]

that core catalogue feels like we're paying SVB for white socks 😭

[jagged sequoia]

Exactly bro, why can't people just be patient? Fast food culture making people demand everything DAY 1. It's like relax lil bro, you'll get it eventually 🤣

[opaque plank]

I paid for the adidas white socks

[icy pilot]

Deffo miss understanding the problem, but ok xD

[tame breach]

yeh but schmoo logo .. all white or black socks, 100 svb each?

[vale vortex]

We skaters which probably most of this community are, are not rich. Shame on them anyway. There is no reason to defend. Why you need to seperate the playerbase aswell. Just release the map for everyone. And to me it doesn’t sound free, when you need to play to process to pay for your 24 hour entrance in a map/park. that’s a ripoff that’s what you call pay to play/ pay to process. cause they’re is an advantage for the people that paid for it. Or have a subscription

[unique sun]

there are items in skate that i could get in real life for cheaper i stg 😂

[icy pilot]

Skaters? Bruh, we regularly human beings arnt rich let alone skaters 😆

There's a reason why a mortgage is a requirement for most ppl nowadays

[little thorn]

April 14th through May 5th is the free access event and after May 5th you’ll need rip chips to access it, which is the part that i think is unnecessary

its highly debatable but i personally don’t think paying for something with free currency is a paywall, but its still unnecessary

[icy pilot]

AHH you mean like them teaching humans honesty?

[scenic gull]

True lol

[unique sun]

i thought the funniest thing was the dead space skin for $35. You can legit buy all 4 dead space games on steam for less than that 😂 like 30 hours worth of game or one skin

[tame breach]

we all need to hope for apology rip chips in future.. FREE THE GROM!

[icy pilot]

No I think the fact it's thrown into the premium pass is the questionable part

[tame breach]

and i very much question .. what is being shifted from premium to premium+ 🤔

[jagged sequoia]

Blud they done silenced me. Did you see that????

[midnight socket]

Man what the hell are these developers doing?
Restricting access to Grom?
I am seriously in pure shock.
This must be a social experiment or whatever.

[vale vortex]

And this is why exactly we shouldn’t support this. Its indeed ur personal thoughts, but I can tell that many disagree to ur personal thoughts. Why would anyone wants to pay for a game which u should enjoy see the world. No one is gonna play a game with continuously payments everywhere

[scenic gull]

I hate the skin anways it's cheap and not worth the price. I didn't buy it thank goodness but I saw the preview on my skater and said no thanks.

[unique sun]

most likely nothing itll be additional. EA owns BF6 and they do a premium id look into that. if they move stuff over thats incredibly predatory. its typically an additional lot of items and a currency boost (15% etc) and private servers (for battlefields at least)

[whole jacinth]

I personally don’t care about the map behind a pay wall because it’s like the Danny’s Hawaiian dream dlc but they didn’t have to lie about it 🥲

Hounestly most content, doesn't bother me, they never promised clothing galore, they did however promise not to sell portions of map, which premium is that imo, rips isn't, that's just a gameplay loop

I don't want skate to become RuneScape where it's only worth playing with premium passed a certain point

[tame breach]

i just think of ppl who spend $10 for premium to get some cosmetics because spending $9 on a pair of vans or more on some branded shirt is out of reach

[little thorn]

having it being in the pass is whatever to me because we still have the option to access it for free later on

if isle of grom was ONLY in the pass , then that would definitely be a problem

[icy pilot]

The problem is the president it sets for future content

[jagged sequoia]

Runescape slander? You've gone too far this time lil bro

[jolly kestrel]

"tattoos are coming to skate" 😐 this game makes my head actually hurt

[tame breach]

dont give them the idea to sell persistant player created parks for svb 🙁

[icy pilot]

Tell me you've reached max level.. on f2p xD

[scenic gull]

35 dollars for something that can be made for 0 dollars is insane

[whole jacinth]

I hate the fact most of these will be behind a pay wall

[unique sun]

Back in the day if you bought skins on CoD on ps3 people would make fun of you for wasting money. How the tides have shifted

[strong heath]

Am I the only one who is okay with paying for access on grom? Last time I checked this game was free to play?

[little thorn]

just wait until you discover gacha games lol

[jolly kestrel]

man every day this game proves my point of this game is not a "skate" game this is a skateboarding game made by ea

[cunning goblet]

Last time I played, I streamed to my friends killing cows all the way to level 50 strength. Not sure why

[icy pilot]

Tbf dude, that was also because every game meant your skins were gone, nowadays they keep them through multiple titles, however, screw cod 😆

[jagged sequoia]

Yeah well until skate has a bunch of sexy waifus that arguement won't hold up

[scenic gull]

I play them LOL

[whole jacinth]

I’m completely fine with it, what gets me is they kinda lied when they said areas ain’t gonna be behind a paywall

[tardy marlin]

Hey everyone,
Is anyone else having issues with challenges not validating?
Mine reset every time and I have to redo them again and again.
I’m losing tickets and progression because of this and it’s been happening for over two weeks now.
It’s honestly driving me crazy 😅
If any mod or dev sees this, could you please help or escalate this?
I’d really appreciate it.

@icy pilot what if i told you bo7 this year was going to be the first cod to do it and the braniac fanbase voted against it IM NOT KIDDING warzone mighhttt?

[little thorn]

still haven’t forgotten about the guy that dropped 600 doubloons on a genshin skin and then his gf broke up with him. his only response to his gf was sending her a pic of the skin he got 😭😭

[still marsh]

You can make your dude thick tho

[icy pilot]

Hounestly Iv considered cod a dead game since MW2 reboot and before mw 1 reboot for a very long time

[fiery iris]

they said that they're investigating it on ea forums, its been happening to a decent amount of people, no word on when it will be fixed though 😭

[icy pilot]

Battlefield isn't fairing much better but atleast there trying

[jagged sequoia]

Insanely based, I imagine he has 10 gfs now and his ex is prolly begging for him to let her join his harem

[icy pilot]

Hounestly the most iv spent on a free game, has been warthunder

Bout 80$ overall

[unique sun]

yeah im probably around $80-100 in the 8 years of siege i played

[icy pilot]

Iv spent nothing on siege but then again I didn't need to, I bought it when it first came out , I've got tons of those rare skins you can't obtain

[still marsh]

I think i paid 80$ alone just to play the crew motorfest and ubislop can't even make the game work long enough for me to even play it 🥀

[icy pilot]

Euro truck is deffo the game iv spent most money on overall tho , not f2p

[unique sun]

i only bought the battle passes, they were actually pretty decent for the price. Gave you like $7 back of the $10 pass for the next one too

[little thorn]

yeah it’s unfortunate, they kept trying to release a game every year when that format of game releases has fizzled out. It only worked before because they had DLC Packs back then. Then they tried to do live service/micro transactions AND yearly releases at the same time and they just plummeted

[icy pilot]

I stopped playing years ago because the operators were just becoming to much for me, I'm very much a fan of the old rainbow six games Vegas 2 was massive high point for tactical shooters

[tame breach]

in the last decade i've spent maybe $150USD equivalent each on 2 games .. both i've put over 1000hrs into and paid either for the game at release or a pack like the founders...
cost per hour is extremely cheap once you hit those numbers

(i did buy other games but i'm talking on DLC etc)

[unique sun]

Dude there is an insane bundle on steam rn its euro and american truck sim both bundled for $3 so 1.50 each. Do i buy?

[icy pilot]

Problem is you will want the map expansions

It's starting to drive me crazy, I have to redo my challenges 10 times... I don't understand, they change a challenge from 10 seconds to 2 seconds... and this huge bug, what are they waiting for !?

[icy pilot]

Euro trucks the more popular one

[little thorn]

ive been playing lots of Half Sword recently since it got released on early access

[unique sun]

yeah id def play euro just cause all the sights ill never get to see irl

[icy pilot]

Hounestly halfsword is fun but, mod support is a must

[icy pilot]

It's got alot more variety too as all country's have slightly different laws usually

Like left or right, max speed ect ect

[tardy marlin]

I wanted to spend €25-50 to buy things in the shop! I'm missing out on clothes because I figured as long as this bug is there, I won't buy anything! I contacted a moderator here, but no response, and EA support didn't respond either!

only OGs remember playing the Halloween event where they gave the same mask away for free twice, one as a repaint, instead of giving us 2 distinct cool masks. That was the nail in the coffin for me

[little thorn]

i think they’re just in a hotfix phase right now , because optimization was horrible at launch but now it seems more stable for most people

ive noticed that smaller games with specific niches have been going crazy recently. Schedule 1 was made by one guy and the game has around 20k daily players with a 450k all time peak

[icy pilot]

hounestly, the only thing at the moment that is gonna keep me going, is custom parks

[tame breach]

real OGs have the peach cargos lol

[icy pilot]

S1 is great though and has co op 😄

so thats probably a factor

ppl want to play with there friends but, they dont always want these super serious narative games

they want to slap random people with skateboards or climb a mountain while there friend screams while falling to there death in prox chat in games like peak xD

[unique sun]

i forgot people were playing this under nda for months how did yall not speak up. I played an NDA test for a certain bungie game a few months back and you can just tell when a game is doomed

[icy pilot]

because honestly, for a long time, it seemed like they were truely listening to everything we said

and tbh Jeff was

but he is but a cm

[worthy moss]

Yeah nah the whole vibes was way different back then

People had their concerns still but it wasnt all like how it is now

[tame breach]

ppl did speak up when they could tho.. and many spoke of things that still are not fixed or implemented

[icy pilot]

but we mentioned those concerns and they acted on them, and ironically... reverted a bunch of them the day it went early access

[unique sun]

alas there was Jeff. But jeff alone was a single hedge knight

[icy pilot]

thats what i really dont get, why put all this effort into listening to people only to in a bunch of case's just scrap it and go back to the original plan xD

[little thorn]

I mentioned this earlier that the market/community for players that grind out video games is MASSIVE and Skate hasn’t been catering to that very much. Thats why Schedule 1 is as successful as it is

[icy pilot]

😆 wanna talk about grind, im playing total war pharoah rn xD

[still marsh]

As long as skate doesn't adopt battleye, which refuses to work on my pc

[icy pilot]

i just like bigger maps tbh and i think in a bunch of cases they went to small

[tame breach]

its true we havent got the proper full large scale maps of previous versions

[icy pilot]

and then theres that one map on the side of a mointain i really dont like

[gentle abyss]

Me when my map is paid to win so i just rewrite the entire faq lol

[unique sun]

Its funny how when you just listen to the people playing your game you get Arc Raiders levels of sucess. The blueprint is right there in the open for any of these corpos to take and they just refuse lololololol

[icy pilot]

tbh tho, iv also been spoilt for scale with games like arma and squad

[sharp yarrow]

So I guess the devs have had enough and want to shut down development.
The map expansion fiasco could be the death of the game.
Nonsensical and anti player decisions being made left and right 😔

[gentle abyss]

I wish someone competent who actually understands the culture made a skate game with the same mechanics as this game has. But without EA involvement

[unique sun]

I understand youre mad about the lack of content but can i point you towards the in game shop? They have the dead space skin in there

[icy pilot]

never gonna happen the way you want , for the same reasons... no ones made a game like shadow of war or mordor

[sharp yarrow]

Session skate sim
Just got a big update 🤷‍♂️
Happy to spend there for new maps as the base game oozes skate culture

[icy pilot]

skatestyle has a free demo and its got way more potential

[gentle abyss]

Its singleplayer though which is a shame but i might consider it

[icy pilot]

and eventually is planning to have mp xD

[wicked gale]

Man people have been outraged about this last development update since it's been posted, love to see it, really hope the developers see this and try to actually do something pro-consumer for once in this game. Locking a new level behind a paywall after they said they would never do that is just nuts.

[unique sun]

i did hear session was good but it doesnt have a rotating item shop so is it even a real game ?

[gentle abyss]

Paid skins are what makes a game truly a game

[solid hollow]

yeah unplayable without the item shop

[unique sun]

that dead space skin was way too cheap at $35 they couldve easily asked double

[pallid summit]

Is training area coming to the game? Devs said no areas will need to be paid for so cant wait for it be playable again

lmao its great , its focused on the players that value realism so the learning curve of the Session is high. both sticks control your skaters feet.

like to do an ollie, you push down with the right stick , and flick up with the left depending on your stance

this is legit the CM walking into the discord today

@unique sun sorry i don't know you well enough to risk another vaca from posting a gif for someone else lol

[barren ether]

grom actually looks really really good but waiting minimum a month just to play for free is crazy

[brazen sage]

yes, it sounds like a very smart and tactfully delivered decision that will have absolutely no consequences for the long term trust and relationship between the studio and us, the players

[wicked gale]

Remember, they're listening

youre also not tech playing for free. YOU SPEND YOUR LIMITED TIME TO GET RIP CHIPS. its costing minutes off of your life to go to an island that should be free

[tame breach]

also watching 👀 ...forever watching

[gentle abyss]

I mean this entire game is just ipslop for the saudi sale, thats why they rushed it out into "early access" they just needed inventory to look valuable to the saudis

[brazen sage]

the rip chips ferry ticket is BOLD to say the least but also the least of my concerns right now

BOLD

-# bold

[little thorn]

i mean ask yourself this;

if Isle of Grom DIDN’T have an month early access paywall BUT still has the April 14th release, would the players still feel the same way?

[brazen sage]

no, and that's the whole point. they've had to change all of their promo literature to account for this decision because they've lied to everyone since launch changed their minds

[gentle abyss]

Also early access is a fake concept that was made popular by indie devs who has to do an early release of their game to fund the rest of development since theyre broke. Big companies using early access have no reason to do so. Back in the day "early access" was an exclusive vip look into the game before release. Early access is a made up concept and its not real

[unique sun]

@gentle abyss nvm youre right. Saudi goverment funded an Asassins Creed (fluff) DLC thats what i got mixed up

[fallow fulcrum]

just wait for how they feel about the park editor being "...and beyond" and not part of season 3, that's gonna be fun lol

[tame breach]

all they had to do was rollback the tix change so it didnt affect S2 and if they made a change in S3 we'd all get advanced notice.. and then just not gate Grom

there were so many options better than dropping back to back bad decisions. anywho (again) gn sk8rs

the sketchiest issue imo are the fake discounts in the shop

like the Creature pack being discounted from 1450 SV bucks to 1050
But it was never 1450 to begin with

[gentle abyss]

They just needed the saudi money lol

[tame breach]

read here..
https://x.ea.com/88453

basically their auto-spending your tix on pass items at the end of season and the deleting the surplus if any

[brazen sage]

ez fix: don't buy bundles until they allow purchasing individual items (which is what the 'discount' implies)

[sharp yarrow]

When they announce no creator park or pvp modes in s3 it’s over
We just need to start getting used to the idea 🤷‍♂️

[unique sun]

holy crap i just read over the part where they wipe the credits you straight up buy with USD hollllllllyyyyyyy scummy

[tame breach]

what an amazing move right?

[minor hare]

there's still a player base on this?

[eternal hemlock]

I would love to hear from the people who attacked those who criticized this game from early. Some folks in this disc had some strong words in here and im wondering if they even still play the game (if you can even call it that at this point) themselves

[unique sun]

that specific part might be straight up illegal can you just do that ? something in the fine print last season allowing that? because what about all the people that did it last week lets say, expecting their tix to roll over?

[little thorn]

nah i bought the creature bundle 😂 i still think the false discounts are odd tho

[tame breach]

i dont think any consumer or contract law allows you to change the terms of sale after the point of sale

[upper snow]

Yea the wiping of paid tix is worse than the crap access to the other part of the map. They are literally just taking things players paid for. I would t be confident in buying anything at this point. They could just take it away.

Had the easiest chance of any of the other game companies (except rockstar) to make a HUGE and successful game. They didnt need an idea, they didnt need mechanics, the foundations of the game already existed and they had a LOYAL fan base.

It wouldve been harder for them to make this game flop than succeed, and yet they did it in an even more disrespectful way than i could have ever imagine. Its crazy

[little thorn]

its horrible , the idea of not owning what you paid for extends way beyond that. Recently they gave people the option to pay a monthly price to own a PS5, and yes that goes beyond paying full price.

So either a one time purchase for the console , or paying a monthly cost to have the ps5 until you don’t want it anymore

[unique sun]

this hit the nail on the head that makes me laugh every time they screw something up. They were handed a golden goose and killed it

tbf it was never going to be huge, skateboarding is a niche hobby (and ever niche-ening) but we are a dedicated player base. if they tune the shop better they can make a lot more sales to keep the game alive

[eternal hemlock]

Go look at the sales numbers of the original games, when skateboarding was even more niche and the internet was in its infancy. If you dont see what this could have been, theyre probably gonna hire you to vibe code

well were priced out of houses so yeah we gotta find something to spend the cash on

[brazen sage]

our age, comrade😔🤝

[pulsar sonnet]

I think we can all agree if they were to put real effort into a genuine map like extending the bridge, make another section as big (if not bigger) than San Vansterdam, that would be an incentive to purchase the premium pass to get early access (no rip chip payment after a certain date, just early access to the map) then we wouldn't be complaining much at all, if real genuine effort and care was put into another map but to just slap an extension on tutorial island and sell it as a new place to skate when the map is basically in its completion is already in the game is just a strange business plan to charge us to return there

[eternal hemlock]

ah yes, because we all know what we all enjoy doing? commiting grand theft auto and shooting rockets from flying motorbikes 😂 just because YOU dont think skatebaording is big, doesnt mean a skateboarding GAME wouldnt be. the biggest selling game of all time is minecraft, and i dont think all those kids have ANY interest in going digging in mines for diamonds. Youve proved my point

[little thorn]

i def agree. Skateboarding culture isn’t as big as it was back then. you could’ve never seen a skateboard in your life but still know who Tony Hawk , Bam Margera , and Rob Dyrdek was

the only skater you can really say that about today would be Nyjah and his popularity is still nowhere near the level of the other three
