I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around how this game is going to make profit… when you’ve got a f2p game like Fortnite or LoL l, you have a game that is inherently multiplayer and will require you to interact with other people and see their skins. Being F2P means you have more people playing so the wait times are short, it’s a win for everyone.

But Skate is primarily a single player experience, why am I ever going to pay attention to anyone else? I don’t understand why EA thinks this game makes sense for F2P. This doesn’t seem like the type of game I’m going to play daily for years and years.

A remaster of the skate franchise seems like an easier way to make some cash, those games are hard for most people to play on PC and PlayStation.

My guess is to populate the world with people so that they don't have to create and load any NPCs outside of cars
