  The Steady Shift towards Online Gambling

  
  Over the years, casinos have made major strides towards becoming more mainstream. This includes the addition of features like touch-screen controls, or even just playing a game for fun. While it is true that you can play a game without the financial sting of losing, you also do not get that thrill of a big payout should you win.

Nobody said which platforms they were looking at developing the game for. All we know is that there's a new Skate game coming somewhere and at some time.
  
  All of EA's talk and literature on the game is simply calling it "Skate." Perhaps it's just a reboot of the franchise...
