NLSC Podcast ·

2024/02/06

NBA 2K24 is prompting gamers to accept new Terms of Service with updated clauses regarding class action lawsuits and digital purchases. We discuss how the move has further eroded goodwill, with language that comes across as threatening in the wake of recent legal action against Take-Two. We also criticise the silence from influencers, as well as the apologist rhetoric that's coming from shills. The post NLSC Podcast #514: NBA 2K24’s New ToS is Complete BS appeared first on NLSC.
