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?

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

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

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