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.

Vits the power of commentators are amazing. they can make a game 3 years old to come back from the grave.


Of course, millions of people listen to them


Other people see him do funny stuff and they want to as well.

It just shows you the power of YouTube and the amount of some of these big YouTubers have on the gaming industry. I remember playing this game with my friend a long time ago, just going for crazy jumps with the Hall of Meat Thrasher.

I clicked on this hoping to see a video showing off a better game. Ehhhh nope, still looks worse than any Tony Hawk game I've ever played.

I hope this makes the devs want to release Skate 4. I played both Skate 2 and Skate 3 to death.

I remember my friends play this all the time back then, sounds pretty fun when they told me about it.
