NBA 2K21 unskippable ads"will be repaired", says 2K from Dingbest's blog
2K says the unskippable ads included in NBA 2K were executed in a way the publisher"didn't mean," and the error"will be fixed." In a statement on Twitter, the business addressed backlash into NBA MT Coins the way commercials were contained in its most recent release. Before this week, players noticed an unskippable advert for the Oculus Quest 2 ahead of an in-game video.
