Skate PS5 is not turned off yet, but it already has microtransactions

Published:

Another play in Skate from EA, announced eons and developed with the community, added microtransactions to the closed Alfa test.

The word appears courtesy Confidential gameswho were passed on from Full Circle programmer by a participating player.

The game, which is to ultimately start in a free game format, will contain a currency in a game known as San Van Bucks. This will allow you to buy various cosmetic goods, including costumes, skateboards and so on.

Full Circle said that he must add this function to a closed alpha to provide players with “positive experience” when buying items in the final version. He added that all feedback from participants would be “very much appreciated”.

Those who spend money in Playtest will reset their shopping after release, but all San Van Bucks they have will be returned to their accounts. We are not entirely sure why EA does not only give participants a diminutive confession of the free currency to apply in the test, but we go there.

To be candid, this game has always been announced as a free affair, which is why it must somehow finance its development. Microtransactions were inevitable and as long as they are largely optional, as in Fortnite, we are not inherently contrary to their inclusion.

Although adding them to a closed alpha also seems controversial, we think that such functions must ultimately be tested, and and after all this is a sensitive test. So although everything seems sinister, we suppose that it makes sense with further reflection.
