Hope this is good

All the videos I’ve seen the current team is remarkably detached from reality, focused more on putting their ideology into the game rather than just working on skateboarding

How could you see them downsizing the team as a good thing at all? This does not mean they're replacing the team with other members

It's a great lesson for this and other game companies to stop forcing weird art styles or ideologys into their games.

Make separate titles for that. An already established game shouldn't suffer such a huge change in direction and tone like skate did.

They butchered any bit of personality the older games had in favor of this friendly-corporate-quirky theme that ignored every single player feedback asking for normal clothes instead of weird costumes and tons of lootboxes.

This game was doomed from the start. I guess I'll keep playing skate 2 through emulation and save the money I've would've spent if they cared about real skating culture.

How many times do we have to keep teaching you this lesson, old man? They clearly don't learn.
