2K Games Backs Out on NBA 2K16 Promise

2K Games Backs Out on NBA 2K16 Promise

If there’s one thing you never, ever do, it’s betray someone’s trust. If someone is counting on you for something, you deliver. This is especially true of companies trying to sell a service. Well, 2K Games has just betrayed its fans’ trust, and people are unhappy. It all has to do with a NBA 2K16 milestone and a broken promise.

On May 30, 2014, 2K Games promised a timed code for a Diamond Player if one million people followed the game’s official Twitter account . Yesterday, the milestone was reached and the company provided a NBA 2K16 Random Item Locker code in a tweet . However, that code resulted in random in-game items, not the guaranteed Diamond Player. People are mad.

2K Games tried to rectify things with a tweet that said the code would give a “chance” at getting an Amethyst or Diamond player, but it didn’t ward off repercussions. People are sending angry tweets, complaining on forums, and unfollowing the official Twitter account .

And rightfully so. This is disappointing. To claim people would get a great, rare Diamond Player for free, then give a common Random Item Locker code instead, is inexcusable. Let’s hope that the company makes things right, now that people are calling them on it.
