The whales aren't the 3-year olds. It's the credit card details their parents put in and forget to erase.TopazFusion said:

Plenty... they just don't know it and it's with their parents' money. They may not necessarily be 3-year-olds, but they may as well be.TopazFusion said:
AO rating has generally been a death sentence for games since the major retailers won't carry them. Name one popular game with an AO rating.Lufia Erim said:
Maybe if we were in 2009. Now brick and mortar is all but dead, the digital age is thriving and i don't think parents care about the rating for a soccer game.Drathnoxis said:
The only reason AO games are poorly perceived is because of the explicit sexual content. Which is the only way you actually get an AO rating. It had absolutely nothing to do with the rating and everything to do with the content.
And instead of asking if there is a popular AO game,ask if there is a good AO game.
The fact that the 2K20 launch was such a shambolic shitshow makes me wonder whether 2K are doing this on purpose or not...! -.-
So i was browsing twitter and happened to see NBA 2k20 trending. I figured people were complaining about the gambling in the game or something.
NOPE!
Turns out the game is broken. Not only do the players in the game miss wide open shots, lose the ball for no reason, and generally float around the court like they are on ice skates, not only is the general gameplay broken. But the game isn't rewarding the players who actually suffer through the shitty basketball to earn their profile rewards. You can score massive amounts of points, do extremely well during the game, but when it comes time to reward the player's profile, the game just......doesn't.
Congrats on doing so well at basketball, your reward is nothing. Enjoy.
However you still get gambling coins, so that's working. And of course the store front work fine because obviously that was the dev priority wasn't it?
UPDATE: Steam reviews seem pretty happy with the game https://store.steampowered.com/app/1089350/NBA_2K20/#app_reviews_hash just kidding overwhelmingly negative haha.
And MetaCritic's user scores are a wonderfully high 1.2 average rating. https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/nba-2k20
I hope the general gaming public starts to wake up to this bullshit.

Just stick to playing Basketball in real life folks.
Get a ball, find a court nearby you neighborhood, and shoots some hoops.

Adding grossly blatant gambling mechanics to a AAA dev?s flagship basketball game was way more important to them than succeeding at the basic competencies that made the flagship basketball game relevant in the first place, i.e.: purposely rush out premium-priced trash with its branching predatory tendrils so it can start grasping at the customers? wallets and purses before the wiser landscape calls us on our shit. They?re throwing it in your faces, people!!!CritialGaming said:
I'm sure we could continue on a tete a tete for quite a few pages listing everything that's busted with the game. I mean, if anything deserves the label of 'broken game', it's 2K20 as f*** me, I can't remember a launch in which this many problems were aired straight off the bat. And apparently, an early 7GB patch did virtually sod all to improve things, even change the desktop icon from 2k19.CritialGaming said:
The real question is if the people who bought this game has learned anything from the situation..
