“When it comes to action sports, I think that’s going to be an an ongoing exciting genre. But at least for the level of excitement out there, skateboarding seems to have run its course as the representative example in that broader genre.” - EA CEO John Riccitiello

I have to agree with that statement. We’ve had tons and tons of skateboarding games, and it seems like the genre is dying off now. That’s not to say that it couldn’t return somewhere down the line, but right now I think devs should give it a rest.
