Take-Two Interactive is facing a class-action lawsuit due to its handling of microtransactions in the NBA 2K series, specifically over the inability to transfer purchased virtual currency (VC) to new game releases. This issue affects players who have invested in VC, as older game servers like NBA 2K21's are shut down, rendering the currency inaccessible and worthless. The complaint alleges that Take-Two's practices violate California's civil theft statutes by effectively taking players' property without allowing transfers. NBA 2K22 servers are scheduled to shut down at the end of 2023, which could further fuel the controversy. As the gaming industry faces increased scrutiny over microtransactions and loot boxes, the outcome of this lawsuit could signal important implications for the future of virtual currency in games.

Can I transfer my VC from NBA 2K21 to NBA 2K22?

No, you cannot transfer VC from NBA 2K21 to NBA 2K22. Once the servers of the older game are deactivated, the VC becomes inaccessible, leading to the current lawsuit against Take-Two Interactive over this policy.
