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

Skate players were explicitly told map areas would not be "locked behind a paywall"

So when fps games do dlc maps it’s fine. but when a skateboarding game paywalls a map its crossing the line?

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.
