Pass this feedback along: when you say you're only going to sell skins and won't put anything behind a paywall, you need to keep your word. They’ve already completely ruined this game; they didn't even bother to create missions for the final area of ​​the main island. I’ve been playing since the very first game in the *Skate* franchise, and I’ve never seen anything as poorly made and soulless as this game.

There are not paywalls in the game. The new map is going to be accessible for everyone starting Oct 6.

We understand that this isn't necessarily the issue, however. But rather that we said we weren't going to do something similar and ended up pivoting with a different monetization approach. I totally get your frustration for this.

The truth is, launching in Early Access meant we were going to work on the game in public while players played. We want to build this game to last, and it means we will need to make changes as we go sometimes. It also allows us to make improvements like updating our characters, lighting, adding tricks and other things we've changed since September. This change was made to ensure this game sticks around for the long haul.

As I pointed out before, it's going to be accessible for everyone starting Oct 6. It's more of an Early Access feature.

How?

hiding behind a private profile while having shallow, trash opinions seem to go hand in hand on steam

paywall = somthing hidden behind a wall that you must pay to access.

So the paywall isn’t a paywall?? Are you serious? Hahahaha. There’s no way something like this is actually serious.

Except the currency is time and patience not cash.

A paywall is a locked door requiring a key
A timegate is something that unlocks for free if you wait

Login today and tell me how it costs to access the maps.

It really couldn't be simpler to understand.

That’s right, bro.. you already had it and still managed to fumble it?!
Sooo.. what do u do with currency? Exactly.. u pay!?. Doesn't matter what it is exactly or how much it's worth. The “exchange rate” in this case varies from player to player..

Let's ignore for a second the terrible analogy and fix the even worse application:
"... something that unlocks.."?? Hmm.. What about a locked door!?
So u're saying that paywall has a requierement/prerequisite (e.g., a price) that must be met in order to be unlocked. In that case the key (e.g., the currency).
Call it a paywall, a timegate, or a magical electric fence… it doesn’t matter! The fact is that you can’t just get past it without “fulfilling the prerequisite” (e.g., paying it's price)
Call it keys, time, tix, or three whispered magic words… without them (giving/paying), you’re staring at a “wall”…
You PAY to UNLOCK IT… none of that makes it free just because you happen to have a few keys, time or whatever lying around that others might not have right at the very same moment . And if you can wait two years for free because YOUR TIME is worthless, that doesn’t apply to most other people… and even if it did, you’d still have to pay with it!?

And just for funzies.. let me show u how it could be even simpler to understand:
If something is truly free, why even bother to lock it?!?

Even the mods should have understood this now (and why many people even call it a paywall to begin with). It would be better to just stop arguing about it, take the silent route, and embrace the hate. Because the dev-studio/publisher has earned it. It’s time to own up to it and learn from it

Jesus Christ. You must be trolling.
