To this day, the games still have a hardcore following. It both introduced skateboarding to a demographic who might not have cared otherwise and let them faceplant avatars at high speeds. The latest game Skate 3 was released in 2010, but Challenge videos, mostly spearheaded by YouTuber ZexyZek, still bring in millions and millions of views and hundreds of thousands of comments asking for specific tricks. Skate 2 & 3 still command a lot of attention across YouTube, whether it's in the form of let's plays or just messing around. I felt that passion in my group chat's frustrated (and very exaggerated) screams when the Session trailer ended after Microsoft's E3 conference. I also felt it when Skate 4 began to trend worldwide on Twitter shortly after.
