Meanwhile, the hashtag # fireronnie2k is also doing the rounds, with “Ronnie” being Ronnie Singh, 2K’s digital marketing director and the man responsible for NBA 2K 20 ‘s aggressive marketing strategy.
In tandem, a petition titled “FIRE RONNIE FOR FALSE ADVERTISING “launchedearlier today and has amassed more than 15, (signatures as of Monday afternoon.)
Naturally, it’s unlikely that 2K shows Singh the door, but it highlights the length to which angered players will go to voice their disappointment.

This Twitter user frames it perfectly:
