EA's Skate Gets Mid-Alpha Microtransactions
First reported by , players in🍬 Skate's latest Alpha were recently greeted with the following messag🃏e:
“To ensure we achieve these goals at Early Access, we have enabled the optꦑion to purchase and use virtual currency (San Van Bucks) in our ongoing Closed Alpha playtest. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated in providing a great experience at Early Access launch.”
While it might seem insidious, it seems like EA is genuinely just testing the functionality, witಌh the message adding that the company wants players to have a “positive experience when purchasing item♚s from the skate store.”
A on Reddit from a player wౠho is reportedly in the Alpha has suggested that all microtr🙈ansactions are purely cosmetic, and that there are no stat boosts or anything similar.
According to Insider Gaming, the message warns players that EA could reset account progr🐎ess at any time, and it will be fully reset ahead of the game's Early Access launch. Players who have spent money on San Van Bucks in the Alpha will, therefore, have them refunded at the start of Early Access, provided they use the same EA account across the Playtests and Early Access.
