    How is that supposed to work, when the entire premise of the game is to skate with others? You’re just going to skate alone in an empty city?

    I mean seriously, the multiplayer aspect is the only decent part of this game. The only fun part is where you free skate around the city with others. This ain’t Skate 4; remove the multiplayer, and there’s no reason to play.

      I think the mod has been downloaded 350k times because they asked for Skate 4 and this is what they got instead.

        $20 says most people will give it a week and then realize there’s no substance to this game and quit.

          Very well could be, but they don’t want the game as-is. The same thing happened with SimCity 13 years ago. And as a stat that keeps coming up from developers of online mulitplayer games, 70% of people don’t engage in the competitive modes, even of games where that’s seen as its main attraction, like PVP in an RTS or even the biggest MOBAs. I don’t know exactly how that translates to Skate, but it’s not surprising to me that people didn’t want a free to play online social version of this franchise.
