In my experience, F2P gaming is always trash. There's always a point where the progression starts slowing down, turning into an insane grind and then you start to understand why they are selling in-game currency and other shit to help you speed things up. It's all a scam. 

 

But you have dumbass consumers, especially on smartphones that spent thousands on these fucking games. In fact it's what generates most of the profits for F2P games, apparently it's that top 1% cash cow that makes them a success. This is the kind of target audience for most F2P, someone who doesn't realize how stupid it is to spend thousand of dollars on one fucking game. It's shameful.

I mean I can see a F2P skateboard game with paid cosmetics and a new map every few months to keep it going. Hard to see it coming from EA, though.

Wasn't the first one called Skate? Why do companies keep doing this?

First one was 'Skate', this is 'skate.'. Couldn't be anymore different.
