2K Defends NBA 2K21 Price Increase

So in the year we have the worst economy ever you guys are going raise game prices $10?!?

So apparently the (rumored) NBA 2K21 Next Gen price is $69.99. This is not a price pattern I want an industry that’s largely stayed at the same $59.99 price for the better part of the last 20 years to adopt. Especially 2K, a game that has an insane amount of micro transactions.

The standard editions of NBA 2K21 are gonna be 70 bucks on launch for PS5 and Series X I realllllyy hope this doesn’t mean a price raise for games come next gen

Does #NBA2K21 need a $70 price tag? Hell naw. Do AAA titles like Horizon Forbidden West or God of War 2 need them? $70 would be a steal.

So it looks like #Take2Interactive is becoming an @EA like bad actor in the industry.

❌No Smart Delivery / free upgrade
❌Raising price for annualized game
❌Gross micro transactions
❌Reselling you the same game 3 times

For shame. @2K @NBA2K @RockstarGames

Given the news that NBA 2K21 will be $69.99, I think that's a sign for me to wait for that mid-gen "Xbox Series X+". Until then this thicc Xbox one will have to do.

@2Kgames I am NOT cool with you charging $69.99 for #NBA2K21. I've been buying your games since #nba2k1 but I won't pay this much.

my guess is that all next gen games are going to release at the 69.99 price point. Game prices have not gone up in over a decade so it was bound to happen at some point.
