It's all about money.
A 17-year-old fan of the NBA 2K basketball simulator series intends to sue game developer Take-Two. In his opinion, the authors are stealing money from gamers. Each franchise project has in-game purchases, but with the release of new parts they are not transferred from the old ones, although the content there is almost always the same. Therefore, everything has to be purchased anew every time.
In addition, the user believes that the studio closes the servers of old games early, preventing them from playing the purchased title normally, and thereby also steals money.
The gamer will sue on behalf of his mother. Take-Two preferred to decline to comment. It is curious that if the court sides with the plaintiff, then this will be a precedent, and all games with in-game transactions (for example, the same EA Sports FC series) will have to take this into account.
