Skate 4 devs reassure fans it won't include paid loot boxes
A recent report claimed loot boxes 🍨had been added to a beta

Skate 4's development team has pushed back against a report cla🐻iming loot boxes were added to its most recent beta.
Earlier this week on January 25, claimed knowledge of Skate's latest internal bet𓆉a. The outlet claimed that loot boxes had been added to the most recent beta for the forthcoming game, and that playte🌺sters had allegedly pushed back against the new system.
Today on January 26 though, the official Skate Twitter account published the tweet seen just below, reminding followers of developer's pledges from last year. Among the four pledges is t🔴he mention of no paid loot boxes, which seemingly pushes back against Insider Gaming's recent report.

The video t🐽hat the tweet above points to was originally published in July 2022, giving viewers an insight into the ongoing development of the new Skate. The video pledged to viewers that there would be no pay to win system, no map areas locked behind paywalls, no paid loot boxes, and no paid gameplay advantages.
However, it's worth noting that Insider Gaming's report never explicitly stated that the loot boxes would be paid for with real world money. The report instead claimed that the loot boxes would be obtained using an in-game currency called Stars, which itself can be ea𝄹rned by performing tricks and completing challenges in Skate.
As such, it's technically possible that the Skate development team have kept to their original pledge by not including paid-for loot boxes, if the loot boxes Insider Gaming refers to are all earned in-game. EA did recently confirm that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skate 4 would be free-to-play, so there's precedent🔴 there at least for loot boxes.
