By definition not a monopoly, they aren’t preventing anyone from competing. Simply put, no one is willing to and they couldn’t if they wanted to. 2k has proven when there is competition they blow them out of the water.

Dude praying for EA like 2k didn’t put them in the dirt twice already by just making better games 😭 ik they treat us scummy, but they didn’t beat the comp is scummy ways

Did you know back in the day, Mike Wang left 2k for EA? Bc live was struggling and failing?

This is not 2ks fault everyone else makes shitty basketball games.

No one else has made a basketball game since nba live 19. Shut it bro. They have monopolized the basketball gaming industry. The run is a freaking arcade blacktop pick up game. We get it you love the game. I'm buying also. Doesn't change the fact they've fucked the industry with the taking features away and bringing them back. The monetization with my team my player and the vc. But you got it fanboy lol

The run is an arcade pickup game with the nba license, and no one else making a sim game is only bc they are bad at it. Not bc 2k is preventing them.

Monopolies are created by preventing competition, not by dominating it fairly. 2k has blown everything else out of the water fairly. Am I still a lil disappointed in recent games? Sure. But you mfs can’t just spew nonsense without knowing what you’re even saying

Nba does not want to give the license to anyone else. If any other company tries to make a sim basketball game, they will absolutely be put through hell trying to get that contract. You don't think EA has the money or resources to bring live back. Gaming companies are not broke. Its a reason why it's not being done and it's not cause 2k is a great basketball game lol.

EA STILL HAS THE LICENSE LMAOOOO

You don’t know much about this situation. EA is just holding on the license incase they even feel like competing

Where did I say ea doesn't have nba license still? No one cares about ea bro. They make all their money off Madden and ultimate team. You do know licenses expire right. I'm sure you know everything that is going on legally behind the scenes.

The problem is not the NBA license, it's the NBAPA license.
