2K states that the unskippable advertisements included in NBA 2K were executed in a way that the publisher"did not mean," and that the mistake"will be repaired." In a statement on NBA 2K21 MT Coins Twitter, the company addressed backlash into how adverts were contained in its most recent release. Before this week, players noticed an unskippable ad for the Oculus Quest two before an in-game videogame. That advert appeared to run through a loading screen, but had been exactly the same length even if running with an SSD on a PC (via Stevivor). Players criticised 2K for the ad, with many imagining that it had been appearing in a full-priced title.
In response, 2K educated players who commercials"have been integrated into 2KTV sections" for a few years, but stated that"yesterday's 2KTV advertisement placement influenced our players' experience in ways we did not intend, as these advertisements are not meant to operate as part of the pre-game introduction." As a result, the issue"will be fixed in future episodes," although there is no word on exactly when the change is going to be put into place. Crucially, it will not sound as though the adverts will actually be moving away. 2K points out they've been set up for a while already, and that the problem here seems to be in which the advertisement showed up, not the fact that it had been there in the first place. Hopefully the placements will be more subtle in the future, but it looks like in-game ads are set to become part of the NBA 2K matches for a little while yet.
