Thank PewDiePie for EA reprinting Skate 3 years after release

4.5
EA’s glitchy Skate 3 has been in the UK top 40 charts all year after EA reprinted it.

Why did EA bother reprinting a 4 year-old game? Because YouTube personalities like PewDiePie made the game popular again, according to MCV.

Retailer GAME requested a reprint due to in-store demand and as such the game has sold 32% more copies in the first half of this year than in 2013.

If you’re not one of the 12.4 million people who have witnessed the Skate 3 hilarity, get your eyes around the video below.

-LOST- Great for the producers but this game looks horrible imo. I don't see how games get released that look like that. On another note I would like to see a new BMX game come out.

Skate 3 for Xbox one please EA! I hate skateboarding but I loved this game so much! Pretty awesome and would pay 40 for it just to get a next gen release! We'll worth the price tag

Mr_Krabs Personally I would have like to have seen skate 4 or something . But a remake of skate 3 is alright I guess. Don't see why you would do it because of PewDiePie...


Because anything PewdiePie says or does, a wave of 20 million 12 year olds will follow. So if Pewdiepie goes to like ebay and buys something like a plank of wood, 20 million 12 year olds would get their moms credit card and do the same just because Pewdiepie.

A lot happens with a mass wave of fanboys.

Inb4 Pewdiepie fanboy hate.

Just hopefully it'll be on next gen also


Yeah, where is the Skate 4 at that the whole world has been waiting for? EA became fools for not going into development for the next one.
