Incidents not mentioned here can be found on the [[:Category:Take-Two Interactive|Take-Two Interactive]] category page.

2K Games - exclusivity contracts (stub)

Much like with EA, 2K has also purchased exclusivity contracts with sports [https://www.operationsports.com/the-nba-and-2k-have-agreed-to-a-huge-new-license-deal-what-does-it-mean/ leagues], thus also restricting options for consumers. (Maybe mention pga or wwe?)

2k - personal data breaches (stub)

General - Microtransactions (MTX) and lootboxes (stub)

[https://screenrant.com/nba-2k-take-two-microtransactions-lawsuit-sports/ Ref] | should cover all 3 major companies owned by T2, ref covers 2k. Zynga's pioneering of predatory mtx needs to be covered (see cityville and Farmville games.) Rockstar, shark cards in GTAO? No clue how we could shoehorn this one.
