Lawsuit Forces 2K To Explain Why NBA 2K VC Can't Transfer Between Games

In an ongoing 2023 class action against 2K and Take-Two, a court has forced the publisher to explain why purchased NBA 2K virtual currency (VC) cannot carry over to the next game. NBA 2K VP Michael O'Dwyer said no technical solution exists, and the terms of service state players have no ownership rights to virtual items.

• O'Dwyer: no technical solution exists to transfer VC between games
