Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko

  1. They said they were never gonna paywall parts of the map. 2. It’s not DLC. It’s a 24 hour lease. 3. The game is early access and all early access games paywalling features get slammed. Most do it thru DLC but I guess EA found a way to make more money than selling a one time purchase.

  1. If the DLC is permanently owned and pays to the artists who made the map, that’s fine.

  2. Even if it is “permanently”, but tied to a server that could be shutdown, it’s not permanently owned. Fuck that

  3. If the DLC isn’t permanently owned, but “rented”, that profit only goes to the executives that probably fired the artists. Fuck that.
