Dead Space Fans Slam $35 Isaac Clarke Costume In EA's New Skate
Fans of the Dead Space series have expressed strong dissatisfaction over the pricing of a new crossover bundle in EA's free-to-play title, Skate, currently in early access. The bundle features a cardboard-style Isaac Clarke costume, a themed skateboard, the Necro Stomp emote, and several stickers. The bundle is priced at 3,350 San Van Bucks, the game's virtual currency, but the pricing structure forces players to spend a minimum of $35 to acquire the necessary in-game funds. While a USG Ishimura T-shirt is available for free, the cost of the full bundle has drawn criticism for being excessive.
While this isn't the first collab between Dead Space and Skate, as there was a free Isaac Clarke skin in Skate 3, the new bundle has continued the debate over microtransaction practices. Some players drew comparisons between the original Skate 3 unlockable and this new version, pointing out that when the costume was free, it felt more like a fun Easter egg than a monetized item. However, others have suggested the new costume's exaggerated cardboard look may be intentional, aiming for a Halloween costume aesthetic rather than a direct replica of Isaac Clarke's iconic armor. Even so, the $35 price tag remains a sore point.

However, not all community feedback has been negative. One Reddit user offered a more nuanced view of the game's direction: "On the one hand, I do get it. I would definitely have preferred this game to be a traditional, single-player Skate game where everything is included in the purchase price. On the other hand, I've been playing and loving the new Skate. You do get tons of cosmetics for free if the virtual dress-up part of the game is your bag. The biggest downside is that you only get a handful of items for free that are from real skating brands."Continue Reading at GameSpot
