Tony Hawk Skates Straight into a Wall With Sandbox Partnership
No Tony, don’t do this. We know you’ve caught some flack in the past for trying your hand at NFTs before, and some of your helmets might not have actually been protecting heads, but why dip your toe back into that pool? Well, to cut to the chase, Hawk announced this month he was partnering with the virtual land game called The Sandbox to create what they were calling “the largest virtual skatepark ever made.” Let’s just ignore there’s been plenty of skateboarding related games that are actually fun to play, and nothing about these awkward, blocky characters actually bring in the appeal of skateboarding.
“You’ve never seen skating like this,” Hawk said in a video hawking his new tie-in. No, we really haven’t, not with the amount of monetization going on with avatars and items existing as NFTs.
