I can’t imagine regularly going to bed before 1, though I have familiar natural short sleep so I don’t need more than 4 or so hours.

That’s really disappointing. I have already completed all of the major challenges in this game and it was really great. I’m pretty disappointed to hear this is the direction they’ve went off to since I last checked in. I would say that if you miss playing the old skate games you can either get an Xbox series X and play them on backwards compatibility mode. Or you can give this a shot because at least it’s pretty fun for quite a while without any spend.
