Recently revealed during the stream hosted by Electronic Arts (EA) on 14th July 2020, Skate 4<\/a>, now known as “skate.,” has arguably become one of the most highly anticipated upcoming titles.<\/p>\n

Bringing back an old classic, the developers promised its fans the game wouldn’t be pay-to-win despite being free-to-play. And generally, there wouldn’t be any purchasable loot boxes with game-altering advantages taking over most of Skate 4’s gameplay.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for fans, EA’s promise might’ve just gone down the drain with the latest data-mined evidence showing a new in-game currency and loot box.<\/p>\n

Across the community, free-to-play games are arguably a curse in disguise. Mostly filled with microtransactions and almost endless cash-grab deals pocketing gamers’ wallets, free-to-play titles might not be as chargeless as they seem. <\/p>\n

Generally, there’s a fine line between microtransactions in free-to-play games: purchases that merely serve as cosmetic enhancements versus transactions providing significant advantages within a game.<\/p>\n
