Wie kann sich ein Game Hersteller am besten lächerlich machen? Genau, ein Skateboard Spielproduzieren und den Titel des Games nach einem Snowboarder benennen.
Das hat Ubisoft geschafft! Zwar konnte Shaun White bei den X-Games in der Vertrampe gewinnen, doch weltweit ist die "Tomate" als Snowboarder bekannt.
Doch die Kuh will gemolken werden. Prost.
