This is heartbreaking news. EA just uses things up and spits them out. Cuz, I really wish you guys had signed with a more supportive publisher than EA.
They squeezed you for their annual release scam, and basically blew up the spot over the course of three years, leaving nothing left. Fuck EA.
I wanna be the life of the search party.
ok I got a question which might be dumb, if so I'm not even sorry...
Soooo couldn't BB look for a new publisher (dunno which, cause I have no overview over the branche) and publish a skate game in 2 years or so`? Of course it wouldn't be called "Skate" I guess, but that's no problem I guess. Or is this impossible because of any weird laws and rights EA has? Or is there anything else makeing this completely impossible?
I did it all for the cookie
SSX Rumour update:
NO...much of the Skate team is not working on the enw SSX. That is inaccurate and beyond misleading.
I know of maybe 2-3 people that worked on Skate that were working on SSX when I was "seasonally rolled off". These numbers may be higher now, as I am not privy to their current staffing. But it is not much or the soul...for sure.
It's a bummer that they are saying this...it is our legacy...the Skate team's legacy that they stand to diminish if the game bites.
Scootie, J-Bomb, The Darkman, Benny, the world builders, the main physics and animation SEs...nope!
well ssx is gonna be junk....damn....hoope the squirrel suit flyng is legit tho.
man I was hoping ssx and flickit.
Stupid fucking people, and their stupidity.

I wonder if anyone lurking this thread could possibly know/share any info on when the servers would go down?

Cuz: Again, many thanks go out to you guys. I've been a hardcore gamer and skate culture fan for a long time and skate entertained me for countless hours. I'm glad you guys made a product that you were proud of, I'm glad you guys kept an eye on the scene before EA chewed you up and spit you out, and I'm super bummed that I can't look forward to a long Skate future under your watchful eye. I hope you stick around with us until the bitter end, when EA kills the servers.
I really think this concept that the skate-gaming market is dead is based off of the foolish head-meet-brick wall development of the recent Tony Hawk games and the obviously awful Shaun White games. The Tony Hawk series hasn't been relevant in so long, and the Shaun White games have been awful since SW:Snowboarding was first even suggested, and these miserable attempts at uninspired games basically ruined it for all of us. Had they not flopped so miserably, I think the gaming market wouldn't have been so convinced that skateboarding was dead as a concept/market.
It's fucking criminal and I'll probably never forgive EA, or the Tony Hawk and Shaun White devs.
