This week, Skateboard 4, the newly reborn skateboarding game, received its first season pass update, but as long as you browse the Reddit subreddit, you will find that the response to this update has been terrible.Players complained: The development team used a bunch of skin challenge tasks to perfunctory players, just for more krypton gold.

Among the latest various "krypton gold content" of "Skateboard 4", the most annoying one is the "Isaac Clarke Bundle" of the male protagonist of "Dead Space".This set allows players to play as a replica of the protagonist of "Dead Space" made of cardboard and tape, wandering around the streets of San Vansterdam - priced at 3,350 San Van Bucks (San Van Bucks), which is 35 US dollars, or about 249 yuan.

If you think the price alone is enough to insult players, the worse is yet to come.This set has all the disgusting money-making traps:

A limited-time sale, it's packed with stickers and emotes to make the price feel "reasonable" and priced just right enough to force you to buy more premium currency if you're interested in the bundle.

What's funny is that some players pointed out that there is also an Isaac skin in "Skateboard 3", but you only need to enter a cheat code to get it, and that version is not made of cardboard.

What's even more outrageous is that when I (the PC Gamer author) personally launched "Skateboard 4" to check out the in-game store, the game crashed for 40 consecutive minutes.

I created a new account and just created the character. It took me two minutes to enter the loading screen of the tutorial. I watched the loading animation of kicking over the board over and over again.Once I finally got into the game, I completed a few basic moves and climbing challenges to prove myself worthy of my destiny board.

When I walked to the circle that glowed purple and was about to trigger the cutscene to receive the skateboard - the game was stuck for 40 seconds, then crashed and reported an error saying "memory error".

I restarted once, went through the long tutorial load, went through the tutorial again, and crashed again.

I tried verifying file integrity via Steam - still crashing.

I tried deleting EA's anti-cheat files and restarting the game - and it still crashed.

Finally, after browsing through a lot of posts about the same crash issue, I finally found a puzzling solution: turn off crossplay.As for why turning off cross-platform multiplayer fixes memory errors during cutscenes... I have no idea.

We all know that "microtransactions" are something that free games have - everyone understands this.

But I think we can at least agree on one thing: if you are going to use the game as a "krypton gold tank" full of cosmetic garbage, then at least wait until the early testing stage of the game is stable enough that the default settings will not make people unplayable.
