Earlier this year, when Activision first announced the remake collection, it also announced a list of skaters planned to be featured in the game. This list included every classic skater originally featured in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4, except one – Bam Margera, known for his roles in Jackass, Viva La Bam and the Tony Hawk series, was seemingly missing.

Now, during a live stream on The Live Club skating podcast, it’s been claimed that Bam was added to the game at the last minute after Hawk demanded he be included.

Why would they not include him? Is he controversial for some reason?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 16 points 1 week ago

No. He is not controversial or problematic for any one reason...

All I know is he and GP had beef

I doubt that has anything to do with anything

What did he do for skating that no one else has?

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 13 points 6 days ago

Yeah but if you remake a game and don’t include all the original characters then it’s not really a remake now is it?

Bam’s a shitty little attention whore but he’s not like, molesting kids, is he? I’m not sure there’s enough of a reason to exclude him from a remake of a game he was originally in.

.... I don't know, is that why they tried to remove him? Are all the other skaters in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games notable in some way that he isn't?

I'm not trying to argue some point, I just know basically nothing about this and I'm curious.

The entire personal life section is pretty insane

He went off the rails after Dunn died. They even kicked him off of jackass 4 because he refused to stay sober, a requirement set to prevent steveo from relapsing
