A recent NBA 2K21 update added an unwanted feature to the game–unskippable ads for the Oculus Quest 2–placing them on loading screens as players waited for matches to begin. Many saw this as a greedy move on publisher 2K Games’ part, but the company has offered an apology.
In a post on the official NBA2K Twitter account, the company said it has put advertisements into its 2KTV segments before, but they weren’t intended to be part of the pre-game introduction. That will be fixed with newer episodes and it should make them less invasive.

As you can see if you check the replies from players, the apology wasn’t universally accepted.
