Skate Players Aren’t Happy With Dead Space Skin

Skate players are unhappy with a new Dead Space-themed bundle released for the free-to-play game. While players can dress their characters as a cardboard version of Isaac Clarke, it costs $35 to skate around as him, which many feel is too expensive.

Over three years ago, Electronic Arts announced that the new *Skate* game would be free-to-play and constantly updated as a live service. Fans who have followed the series for a long time immediately worried about how the game would make money, suspecting that cosmetic items like character skins would likely be sold. Recent bundles for the *Dead Space* game seem to confirm those concerns.

Skate Players Are Annoyed At Dead Space Bundle’s $35 Price Tag

A recent Reddit post by user Parzalai pointed out that a new “Skate” skin bundle inspired by the “Dead Space” video game series costs $35 or more in the in-game store. Many fans are upset about the price, calling it excessive for a bundle that includes a skateboard, an emote, stickers, and a character skin resembling Isaac Clarke from “Dead Space.”

Players are upset about more than just the price of the new bundle. Many are disappointed with the Isaac Clarke skin, which looks like a cheap Halloween costume rather than his iconic armor from *Dead Space*. One player described it as a poorly made cosplay using cardboard and tape. Fans point out that *Skate 3* offered a free, accurate Isaac Clarke skin 15 years ago, and this new version feels like a low-effort Halloween outfit. Considering the game already received mixed reviews, this bundle isn’t helping to improve player sentiment.

The fact that *Skate* offers cosmetic items for purchase is already causing debate, especially since the game is still in early development and doesn’t have a firm release date. However, with the launch of *Skate* Season 1, EA and Full Circle have a chance to build on the game and improve how players see it.
