You can start ringing the new Skate's death knell, because EA says it's online only (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

It takes away the entire game when EA stops supporting it.

I'm not worried about it; EA games go offline long after I'm done with them. I've never seen them take down a game that wasn't already completely dead 5 years ago.

My major concern is with development. I don't trust them to make a great game without fucking something up somehow.

Is that a good enough reason not to enjoy it now? I'm laughing about the downvote from salty folks. I get it, but if you don't like it save your energy. Lots of people are having a good time with it and your opinion isn't going to keep us from that. When it goes away we go back to ps3 emulation.

You asked, so I just felt like chiming in, lol. Ultimately it's up to you if you want to buy it. You'll get to play it for a few years at least, I imagine. It depends on how long EA decides to support it. This is going to be a live service game too, so the quality of the game is going to depend on the management at EA. It could be good at first but get worse like Overwatch. It could be bad at launch and get much better with time. You never know.
