2K

2K Games is a publishing label of the U.S.-based company Take-Two Interactive. It comprises several divisions covering various video game genres. Notable franchises include BioShock, Sid Meier’s Civilization, and NBA 2K.

The company has faced repeated criticism for data protection violations, aggressive user tracking, security vulnerabilities, and controversial changes to game content marketed as ""quality of life updates". 2K releases many games at short intervals, such as WWE2K, NBA2K series and others, and switches off the online functions of the previous versions after a short time. As a result, users lose some paid content and functions early on.

In the case § 3:23-cv-05961 before the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 2K and Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. were accused of unlawful marketing practices, unauthorized user charges, and deletion of virtual currencies from user accounts.
