Appears like some folks have been having fun with just a little extra than simply early footage of the upcoming Skate 4. Whereas EA continues to maintain followers refreshingly up-to-date on a recreation that’s nonetheless some time off, the builders have written a weblog publish to say there’s a restrict to that sentiment, and to ask people to please cease taking part in a leaked construct of the sport.
Seems that an “earlier model” of the sport leaked earlier this 12 months, and followers have been taking part in—and broadcasting—the expertise. For an instance, right here’s a clip from April, which we will nonetheless watch within the tweet under however whose unique supply has been deleted (through Polygon):

Appears honest! Unfinished video games are simply that, unfinished, and similar to you wouldn’t eat a chef’s meal till they had been performed cooking, taking part in a recreation earlier than it’s launched is only a dangerous thought throughout. Builders are getting an unfair instance of their work put on the market within the public eye, and also you’re taking part in one thing that isn’t consultant of the completed product.
It additionally says one thing concerning the insatiable appetites + lack of persistence amongst sure circles of players, however that’s a complete different subject for a complete different publish. For now, it’s very cool {that a} studio is displaying off their work in such a uncooked state, so it’d be simply as cool if we might all admire that, benefit from the footage we get to see and simply…get on with our lives till the sport is definitely launched.
(Keep in mind, EA made three of those video games already! You possibly can all the time simply go play a type of for some time!)
