Allegedly, the game was largely finished and Margera was not going to be in the cast. Tony Hawk then called the publisher Activision to have him brought back.
Seems like a pretty nice gesture, on top of the whole thing of retaining original content (though it sounds like they're newly scanning the bodies of the skaters?).
Was it an issue of royalties regarding Bam's likeness in the game? I'm not sure why Bam got removed at all if it's apparently so trivial a phone call from Tony would turn it around.
Cancel culture was the reason, sounds like. Bam Margera is a bit of a...Jackass.
It is weird though. Sounds like others have done worse; I didn't follow any of this, but not sure why they went after him specifically. Maybe he's just in the wrong profession. This would be normal if he was a fighter, and really tame if he was a football player.

Bam is a mentally ill alcoholic that only isn't in prison because he knows people
