A month after the release, the company 2K Games built into a basketball simulator NBA 2K21 virtual advertising. The portal paid attention to this today Stevivor, confirming that the commercials appeared in both the console versions of the game for Xbox one and Playstation 4and on a PC.
According to players, annoying ads cannot be skipped in any way, since they are shown at the stage of match loading… At the same time, the advertising video itself has nothing to do with the products of the NBA franchise or other games of the publisher and is dedicated to the new virtual reality headset. Oculus Quest 2which went on sale last week.
Of course, the gaming community was unhappy with the fact that 2K Games imposes viewing ads in a paid title, as if it were some kind of mobile F2P project. Some users began to urge gamers to abandon the purchase of NBA 2K21, while others reacted to this in a comic manner, saying that now the game is indistinguishable from real basketball, where there is also a lot of advertising.
“I hope this doesn’t become a trend in the new generation. This is fucking ridiculous!”;
“And this is along with aggressive monetary policy. Please don’t buy this game at full price.”
“I hate must-have ads. YouTube suffers from this shit too, but in a $ 70 game? Fuck you”;
“This episode was really great before. It’s sad to see how things turned out.”
Do not worry. They will make a paid add-on that can remove ads “;
“Completely disgusting”;
“Just like real sports on TV! What realism!”;
“Gee. For $ 70, you can’t miss an ad”;
“Garbage Series of Games”;
“Real basketball has ads too, so it works for immersion. [в атмосферу]”;
“It’s actually pretty damn disgusting. It shouldn’t have a place anywhere other than F2P games.”
“Can I install AdBlock on Xbox?”;
“People keep buying the NBA, so they brought it on themselves. Enjoy.”
“They are milking this streak as hard as EA does with FIFA”;
“I was thinking about buying a PS5 version. Not anymore.”
I did the same earlier Electronic Artswhich added ads to the mixed martial arts simulator UFC 4 three weeks after release. Banners of the series that appear right during gameplay and watching replays “Boys“caused anger among users, and therefore the company decided to remove ads from the game.
NBA 2K21 will be released on Xbox Series X / S and PlayStation 5 10th and 19th November respectively. Whether in-app ads will appear in these versions is still unknown.
