There is not a net good that has come from TGA or SGF when you consider that it’s profiting off of what’s causing a mass exodus of talent from one of the fastest-emerging art forms in entertainment history in the form of brutal layoff announcement after brutal layoff announcement.

People would rather lob vitriolic comments at journalists online than actually play games nowadays, in no small part because I think their miserable addiction to online outrage has ruined the joy they've gotten from anything they used to really like (games, movies, books, etc.).

For me, jumping into play challenges and riding around a bit every night without having to spend a penny unless I want to is exactly what I want from Skate in 2025.

The best-selling Skate game sold around 4 million copies (Skate 3), and I don't think it sells that again if it's another 10-12 experience akin to the original trilogy.
If you're not feeling the gameplay or art style that's totally fair - as is a distaste for this revenue model.

really loved this review! I was kinda lukewarm on the first few eps of season 2, but lately it's been firing on all cylinders. Too excited to watch the finale tonight!
