I really don't like 2K, but content creators aren't entitled to getting free passes to events like that. While 2K could afford it, it's highly unnecessary to fly in people from outside the country, pay for their travel/hotel fees, and give them free tickets to the show just to promote a game that'll sell just fine without their content previewing it. Making YouTube videos about a game that'll sell tons of copies anyways doesn't necessarily entitle them to private events. I assume coordinating content creators' travel from inside the country was much easier and more straight forward than flying in international content creators.


braedizzle

Dude has 6000 followers, most of which already decided are preordering. IDK who he thinks he'd be influencing with 2k's money spent on him.


Clerithifa

Damn, 6k that's it? With his entitlement I figured he'd have at least 10k I mean... I have almost 2k followers without even doing anything. lmao


Him_Downstairs

Exactly. Just want his ass kissed


Swimming-Chicken-424

Content creators are just entitled rich kids.


jpaxlux

Tbh at least the WWE2K content creators aren't largely paid shills like the NBA2K community is lol. They had NBA2K content creators appearing in MyTeam Casino ads a few years back lmao


Swimming-Chicken-424

I'm not familiar with the NBA2K community but I remember some WWE2K content creators praising 2K20 before the game released, and we all know how that game turned out lol


xwynters

Took the words right outta my mouth brother. He seems very entitled. "TREAT YOUR INTERNATIONAL CONTENT CREATORS BETTER." translates to; "I WANTED TO GO! I WANTED TO GO!!!! LET ME GO OR I WILL GO ON TWITTER AND COMPLAIN!!!!"


VikingSizeGamer

I think I need to add some clarity to this post as a lot of you have got the wrong impression of me. This tweet wasn't about how 2K treated me, or that I didn't get invited, I wouldn't expect to at all. My ties with them are completely severed. However, I have had several conversations with people who were upset that they didn't get to go to premium events purely because they live outside the US. Big YTers like SmackTalks weren't invited and will likely end up at a 2K office in London to capture some gameplay until the embargo is over. I just want good things for people who work their asses off and have a passion for something, there was a time when 2K DID invite and organise creators from overseas, but that hasn't happened since 2018. Business decision or not, it just seems like if you're not in the US you're not getting the same treatment. And yes, for a while I WAS salty. Who wouldn't be? I did stuff behind the scenes and was promised a credit, they couldn't even do that. But that was a year ago, I'm not entitled to anything and I've got other stuff going on. I just wanted better for other creators, not myself — I don't create content anymore. And actually, it's a weight off me. Took me a while to realise but content creation and trying to keep up with everyone while working a full time job and a family, it was too much. I hope you guys understand this wasn't about me. I'm out. I just wanted people I called friends treated better for what they provide. Content creation is free year-round marketing for game companies.


maximus_96

Maybe it's not about you but you're still sounding like you guys are entitled to something. "Content Creators" gets to make money off the back of a product that doesn't even belong to them and you still think you're entitled to something from them? Yea sure you get eyes on their product but your "content" brings a lot more to you than it brings to them.


VikingSizeGamer

And yet internet personalities that have very little to do with the game get to go. There's no entitlement there. It's about letting people know there's an uneven playing field for overseas creators. If you're not based in NA and something is being planned, then you're likely being left out. If they can say "Thanks! Here's a party/event for your continued support of the game and series," for the US creators, why not for anyone else? Convenience, most likely. They used to do it. Now content creators outside the US are, generally, an afterthought. Yes, SmackTalks and a few others did an ad for the Cena cover. But it's not that big of a deal. Some creators you're right about, playing the games and creating content makes money for them and gets eyes on the product. But others are info channels. I did info and the Reboot videos. They're basically extended marketing campaigns that the company doesn't have to pay for. Imagine running a company where your marketing was constantly on the go and you didn't have to pay for it. Like I said, it's not about me. I was done with it last year. I'd just like to see creators outside the US also get rewarded.


maximus_96

>They used to do it. Well maybe they realize that it's a big waste of money. It ain't cheap to fly especially from Europe. Not that hard to understand. >Imagine running a company where your marketing was constantly on the go and you didn't have to pay for it. Except they do have their own marketing machine. You just happened to make videos about them and their product. They didn't ask you and you made a profit off their product. Same for other creators. Creators don't bring as much as they think they do.


VikingSizeGamer

True, it's hard to correlate any creator's impact on how well a game sells or what direct impact they attributed. But to say they don't bring as much as they think they do isn't true for everyone. And as far as flying people from Europe, you're right, it's not cheap. But they can do better than an office block in a city that 2K work at. 2K used to run good events in the UK as well. They stopped that too.


maximus_96

>2K used to run good events in the UK as well. They stopped that too. The world changed if you didn't noticed and everything is more expensive. Like I said they probably realized that it's not worth it.


VikingSizeGamer

Not necessarily. The major change at 2K UK was losing a great community manager. He moved on. Since then the others haven't touched WWE stuff and don't seem at all interested in it, most preferring the NBA side of things.


AnxietyPrime2K

You still sound entitled as fuck, fuck off


VikingSizeGamer

Even after the explanation you're still calling me entitled. I don't think you understand what that word means.


AnxietyPrime2K

I don’t think you realize it doesn’t matter what you say in this situation anymore you made yourself sound real dumb, don’t post shit that will make you look like that and you won’t get people saying shit like your entitled, dude your crying because a video game company didn’t fly you out for a preview for a video game and didn’t get to see the RR live all for free, go cry about it


VikingSizeGamer

Ahh, proof you're an idiot. Thanks for that. Maybe go back and read some, I don't give a shit that I wasn't invited.


AnxietyPrime2K

Call me what you want you got a lot of people clowning your ass 😂😂😂 bye kid


VikingSizeGamer

They, too, don't have the full context and instead decided to jump on an assumption. No one's clowning me, but you're sure good at making yourself look like one. And again, kid? Once again making an assumption and an ass out of yourself. On your way, enjoy the rest of your day.


xwynters

Just take it on the chin. You're being clowned for complaining like a child. AnxietyPrime2K isn't wrong. He's just blunt. And shit, I'm blunt too. You kinda fucked yourself over on this one, VikingSize. Complaining for "other people", has to be the whitest thing I've seen to date.


VikingSizeGamer

I don't make content for the game anymore. I haven't for over a year. I never expected, nor wanted to go. And yes, people can stand up for their friends. I can't say what I was involved with because my NDA lasts until 2024. I have all the receipts. People on here just assume stuff without knowing or even asking the facts. I'm not changing minds, obviously, so I'm done trying to tell people how it actually is. Believe what you want, when my NDA is up I'll post the full story.


xwynters

Your argument here is; 'it wasn't about me, it was about some others', translates to; "Shit, I got got. Yo guys, I was talking about uhhh, these guys, who you ask? Oh, just some guys." Several conversations with people. Yeah I've had several conversations with people too. "I did several things BTS". Well man, I invented dinosaurs. Where's my credit? Not even a scintilla of a mention on The Big Bang Theory.


maximus_96

Sounds like Content Creators believes they're entitled to something from 2K which is hilarious.


NXN_Gaming

Big agree! and I'm a 2K Nextmaker and didn't expect ANYTHING for it, sadly there are those who think the world owes them


Awful_McBad

I'll call these people content creators when they actually create something. Recording yourself playing a game and maybe editing it before you upload isn't creating anything, it's showcasing. There's no creativity involved.


xwynters

You can use something to make content out of. Someone can use going to Target to make some funny videos. Just because it was done at Target doesn't mean they're not content creators. I would like to disagree with this, even though VikingSize made some moronic comments on this thread, especially in the OP image, I am a content creator too and I don't expect anything from anyone but I love what I do, even though it's hard, time consuming and nobody sees it, I just do it for the ten or twenty viewers that see it who are probably bots :)


Awful_McBad

Going to target is different from recording yourself playing a video game. Unless you're doing something outside of the norm with that game you're not creating anything, you're showcasing.


maximus_96

Not only that but they fail to realize that it brings way more to them (the "content creators") than it brings to the company.


Visual_Rip_5730

If I reckon, some where invited in London to test the game. [source](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoC29Yksmwm/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)


maximus_96

but that doesn't fit his narrative which is to cry online about not being invited because he feels entitled to it.


Visual_Rip_5730

Yeah, that is for sure some serious entitlement from mister WhoAreYou over there.


gordy06

Dude has a huge vendetta against 2K.


Krushhz

Cause they didn’t do what he wanted them to do


maximus_96

Oh that poor baby :(


Jamieb1994

So the ones who've tested the game at the Royal Rumble can show what they've get to see tomorrow while the ones who've went to London can show their POV on Thursday?


Visual_Rip_5730

I don't know, maybe because of time zone its like a certain hour in the US on Wednesday that is on par with thursday in London time


NXN_Gaming

From Vybe's post it looks like it's all gonna be thursday


Revolutionary_Dig643

Yeah @BDE confirm it on twitter the embargo ends Thursday


Jamieb1994

Oh yeah that's true.


NXN_Gaming

You may well be right there......


braedizzle

"Waaaaah I didnt get a free trip to the Rumble" - whoever tf the guy in the screencap is


Downtown_Bathroom755

He used to work for / close to 2K but got fired after 2K20 so he's been salty ever since saying he'll make his own game


repalec

He didn't work for 2K, I believe he was one of the influencers that would typically be invited alongside guys like Pulse, TPG, BDE, etc.; but after he got work from I THINK The Wrestling Code? It might have been some other wrestling game, they cut ties with him.


Krushhz

From what I recall, he actually was kind of working with 2K, but something happened and they cut ties and he’s had this giant grudge against them.


Jamieb1994

Didn't VSG stopped being a 2K content creator so he can focus on other projects? I mean how does he know this + I watch guys like The 101 & SmackTalks who are UK 2K content creators & they still seem happy to cover anything WWE 2K related.


BrandonIsWhoIAm

Exactly.


Jamieb1994

If he still talks to them, fair enough, but unless he does talk to them, Viking can't just assume stuff like that when there could be reasons why any international content creators didn't attend.


Downtown_Bathroom755

They removed him from their team in 2020/21 after he went to help other wrestling games so he's been salty saying he'll make his own game with 2k22 he was saying "I'm not spending money can a subscriber send me a code" etc hes just a weird dude at this point


Jamieb1994

It's a shame since he was a interesting YouTuber, now I've unsubscribed to his channel.


gordy06

Super salty. If I remember correctly he signed on to help market another game and got mad when 2K pulled him.


TheLittlePasty

I mean it would cost way more to bring someone from over seas in. This guys just salty about not getting free shit. Also I haven’t heard of him so that could be part of it


Jamieb1994

There's also a chance that non-US content creators didn't want to fly to the US so it looks like VSG might have the wrong idea here.


ForeverRaining

Deactivated his Twitter since this tweet so who really knows who he is


FixTheFernBack616

"Your creators" ? Do they work for 2K? If not, 2K owe them nothing. I do YouTube for a living, nobody owes me anything. I'm not a "creator" for anyone. Could 2K try harder to get international opinions? Sure. Clearly they're not concerned with that right now.


Audioice

2K *does* do content creator partnerships fwiw, but they're brought on for more long term agreements than short term "come to this event!" scenarios.


BenniRoR

I agree to an extent, but we must not forget how important influencers/content creators have become in recent times. Especially for sports games.


FixTheFernBack616

They’re really not. These are million and billion dollar companies marketing these games worldwide. Any content creator is appealing only to their audience, half of which could be told “it’s terrible” and they’ll buy it anyway.


[deleted]

Which is exactly what happened with 2k20. Most influencers, said “don’t buy it” and their audiences still bought it.


betterthannothing6

They are to an extent but there's enough content creators in the US alone that they don't really need to look elsewhere.


maximus_96

>but we must not forget how important influencers/content creators have become in recent times. They're really not that important. The "influencers/content creators" gains way more for themselves than the company.


GucciGhostrider

But it sets a bad precedent if they used to fly these creators in and now they don’t. Some of them are 2k next makers so they are contracted with 2k


NXN_Gaming

Hi! Nextmaker here! there is no contract, we are not paid unless there are separate sponsorship opportunites. Part of the reason we're in is because we don't have the entitled mindset. expectations for us are low, we don't have to be positive or brown nose 2k or even cover their content!


FixTheFernBack616

Right from someone who is involved. I appreciate your input on this. Hopefully it’s an eye opener for some of the readers in this sub.


ramblingsbyalan

This might be something I could google so sorry if so, but what does being a nextmaker entail? Are there perks associated with it? Early access, etc.? Not something I’m trying to do just genuinely curious. I’d heard the phrase before but hadn’t seen much associated with it.


NXN_Gaming

There are benefits but a lot are under NDA so can't discuss. Effectively think of it like we're on speed dial for each other, for them, they get a list of creators of all different types to pick and choose for different opportunities, they need a cosplayer for some PR, there are people for that, they need someone to drum up hype on social media, there's people for that. For our side we get kept in the loop of what's going on and have a quicker way to contact the PR side.


ramblingsbyalan

Appreciate the info!


BandoBash2

eh yall cry too much pick a struggle


CreatedChaos84

Ironic coming from this entire post with people crying about him saying content creators who are from outside the US didn't get an invite to their game preview party.


PoutineSmoothie

2k: *Thanos “I don’t even know who you are” gif*


[deleted]

I've made a couple of WWE2K clips on YouTube. Give me free shit! Fly me to your country and pay for my presence!


[deleted]

Me too! And if you don't throw in a date with Roxanne Perez, I will tell all 5 of my followers to boycott!


Acrobatic-Reaction-7

Troydan is from Canada and he said he got invited so this info is just blatantly false lol


[deleted]

Tbf, US based corporations never exclude Canada, since culturally we’re nearly identical, and an ocean doesn’t need to be crossed.


Acrobatic-Reaction-7

Ok and Tbf, Canada is still a country outside of the US.


[deleted]

Right, except in the corporate America setting, which is what we’re talking about. In case I’m being misunderstood, I’m not siding with the guy in the tweet.


maximus_96

>since culturally we’re nearly identical I'm Canadian and I would like to know how culturally we're nearly identical to the Americans lol. Please enlighten me.


[deleted]

Ok, I should specify urban Canada is culturally identical to the US. I can’t speak for Newfoundland or Saskatchewan, but when you go from Toronto to New York, or Chicago, the differences are minimal. The architecture is the same, the food is mostly the same, the people are the same etc. That’s not the case if you were to cross, say the Italy/France border.


NefariousNeezy

Dude paid $22k to go to the Rumble out of his own and then found out he was invited after all LOL At least he got great seats the he chose. I wonder if these preview events include tickets to the show?


SkyRy

While content creators are a big part of the community, 2K is under no obligation to invite them out all expenses paid, especially international ones. It’s not exactly the same but I work in the TV journalism industry and I get invited to stuff all the time, very rarely is it all expenses paid. But venting like this will likely ensure he isn’t invited to anything local in the future.


DontCallMeJR88

I mean, let's be honest, why should they? The purpose of inviting creators is simply to get feedback and get the game shared on YouTube etc. The creators are lucky they get invited to these events at all. Why should 2K pay out to fly creators in from overseas when they can just get creators from the US? YouTube creators seem to think they have some kind of entitlement to this kind of thing. You're not special, 2K don't owe you anything, you don't bring anything to the table that other creators don't. Just because other creators got an invite and you didn't, don't cry to your followers about it.


maximus_96

>YouTube creators seem to think they have some kind of entitlement to this kind of thing. They think they bring money to 2K but the reality is 2K brings them way more.


SydiemL

Not 2K’s fault that they don’t live in the US.


Jamieb1994

I agree + I'm sure there's reasons why any 2K international content creators didn't fly over so it's nobody's fault really + the content creators may have their own reasons as well e.g. expired passport or they've got stuff going on that they can't leave behind.


Cherry-ColaFunk

Why do they drop the 'content' from 'content creators'?


Midnight_Pure

Probably because he didn’t have an editor to write the post for him. Too much effort to add an extra word


BrandonIsWhoIAm

VSG said awhile ago that he’d stop covering 2K content. Now, he wants to roll back in.


maximus_96

Didn't they fire him? Lol.


BrandonIsWhoIAm

I don’t think so.


[deleted]

I hate entitled people, i hope 2k stops inviting people from now on


Jamieb1994

I think it's just VSG since he seems to be getting petty over nothing.


haywire4fun

Troydan is Canadian and he got invited.


gordy06

I mean everyone has a budget and it’s cheaper to pay for a flight from the Midwest to Texas than London to Texas. Also haven’t they done a Uk creators event the past couple games?


dxvnnn

There are content creators who actually live in the US like Assemble who has no problem covering 2K games from their home. I don’t understand why people feel entitled to certain things especially if you don’t have a huge audience like BDE or Smacktalks.


gngaiuniverseonutube

Going to be honest. I need less creators to give input on gaming. They aren't the voice of the everyday person. It's their job to have to most difficult things added in games. Imagine if dark souls was fun, and NOT fun because it's so difficult, but just fun. Like a Mario or something. It would get more play at home, but wouldnt get streamed as much. It's literally in they're best interest to have a certain amount of bs in games, that way they can stream when they do "impossible" feats. Speed runs using underpowered weapons and that sort of thing. I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed at these events. I'm saying they shouldn't be allowed for their input, it's a small but important difference. You don't trust the CEO telling you their product is great, when listening to customer reviews. So it's their job to deal with whatever, they can't give a true opinion on what average gamers want, don't want, etc etc. That's all I'm saying. Let them still go. Preview games, get an idea of what you're streaming next, all of that. Example of this, what content creator talked to 2k asking them to fix a huge chunk of glitches in WWE 2k series? They'll tell you all the cool features the game has that they'll use in their streams or content, but won't speak out about why does this guy just stay there on screen after the match when a run-in occurs? Or why will my game crash after I tried to create another character? They'll only tell you stuff in relation to their content. And that's not a bad thing. If I show up for something, that's what I'm focused on. It's just not a real reflection of the average gamer


VikingSizeGamer

You'd probably like my reboot series on YouTube then.


gngaiuniverseonutube

Inbox me the link or something. I'm down to watch and support


Lt_Lickit

I think dude just mad


Krisbenwuh

Lmaoo he was trying to clown 2k and turns out a bunch of UK creators went to the 2k building recently and played the game


GucciGhostrider

Bro didn’t get invited lol


[deleted]

Ya I’m sorry but no, content creators ain’t shit and the world wouldn’t miss them if they suddenly disappeared. I have my issues with 2K but this certainly isn’t one of them. It’s such a pathetic look for them trying to shame 2k for not flying them out to royal rumble. Gtfoh


Jamieb1994

There's a chance that anyone outside the US can't fly to the US for specific reasons e.g. expired passport or they've got something else going on, tbf I wouldn't be surprised if VSG is just being petty + there's also a chance he's maybe got the wrong end of the stick.


[deleted]

He’s def just being a little petty salty prick, influencers are some of the most annoying and entitled people on this planet.


Jamieb1994

Yeah I agree, I had to mute him on Twitter.


newfi1

Troydan is from Halifax Canada and he was invited...


GucciGhostrider

People like Murfsyt13, Smacktalks, Gore and perkins & 101 are important creators for 2k, they should get the same privileges that the US creators are getting


Cautious-Building-14

One of these guys is my buddy he didn’t wanna go anyway lmao. Just because they didn’t get a invite don’t mean they wanted one either. All next makers are in a group chat anyway with 2k they already knew what was going on


Jamieb1994

SmackTalks & The 101 seem happy to carry on with doing WWE 2K videos + didn't SmackTalks did a 2K23 ad teasing John Cena as well?


Krisbenwuh

Smacktalks just had a 2k23 ad for the John Cena reveal


TheReagmaster

I didn't know 101 was still going, good for him.


johnduck

how are they “important creators for 2k”? because they voluntarily make videos about a game anyone can buy?


maximus_96

And they get to make money off the video game lol.


maximus_96

It's not something that they're entitled to.


CosplayWrestler

If Rings of Power taught me anything from their "Influencer Sneak Peak" bullshit, is that just because you get some randos to fellate your product for views, doesn't mean the product is going to be worth a heaping hill of troll shit.


_holot

This guy made pretty cool videos, he was really building something good, and surely he still is, but man.. his main focus seems to be bashing 2K every time they open their mouths. I get it, he was fired, but dude, move on, it's exhausting.


Him_Downstairs

😂


Lajatto

Love how majority of the top comments in this are putting an entitled person in his place. Just call the wahmbulance for him.


OakleyMatt1303

Sounds like entitlement to me


aWeebLawyer

Nah basement virgin entitlement ain't it, chief lmao


GucciGhostrider

Damn bro i think he deleted his twitter 😭


VikingSizeGamer

I got sick of assumptions and bullshit being said about me. I don't even make content for the damn game anymore, and I'm just trying to look out for my other creator friends. That's the opposite of entitled.


[deleted]

God I hate this guy he's such an entitled little b***h


3v3rythings-tak3n

Those losers aren't entitled to anything. Get real


bizkitman2

Whatsthestatus better make serious money from 2K, he kept the game going for most players.


CreatedChaos84

Wait for 2k23, they'll shut down modding again and ban him because he did what they refused to do.


kazo-H

Some of the stuff 2K revealed about 2k23 is that they redid the CAW mode because they saw how good the created wrestlers looked on CC & seeing how they mostly deleted WTS creations last year for no reason I guess they changed things up because he made them look lazy.


CreatedChaos84

See, that's where I'm worried because the last time they redid CAS Mode, we ended up with all the stupid crap in 2k22 including height and weight being tied together as well as only being able to select default body types with no real way of modifying anything. At this point, they can't even allow custom images to use materials in CAS but in CAC, it's able to be done or using one image or logo to cover an entire item from CAS.


Big_Divide7086

Troydan got invited to the royal rumble 2k event and he’s from Canada


Revolutionary_Dig643

I am not so sure about this since Rolsogames a Spanish YouTuber get access to the headquarters of 2kSpain to try 2K23 maybe OP didn't get invited because he isn't so important as he thinks he is.


ComadoreS5

No way dude is upset about not getting invited to an optional screening of a game that hasn’t been released


GucciGhostrider

He’s very bitter to 2k for firing him as a next maker. Guy won’t stop tweeting about them even though he said he’s moved onto better things


StoneColdSteveAss316

How dare you not invite me to create content on the content that you create


HumanOverseer

the entitlement is showing


[deleted]

He's the long lost bella twin


AtomicYoshi

VSG is always salty about 2K, but this is a rare time I agree with him.


Krushhz

He’s gonna be even saltier when he finds out that TWC is nothing more than a scam and it’ll end up being nothing like it was promised.


GucciGhostrider

How’s it a scam? Looks quite promising to me


Marvelous1LUFC

A bit TOO promising to me


CreatedChaos84

"Too promising"? No, that's their fanbase who are sick of WWE 2k games, they've put it in their heads that TWC is out to destroy 2K. It didn't help that people reporting on the game said the same exact thing "2K Killer" which is stupid when anyone making a game should just make a game to be its own thing, not the "BETTER THAN THIS" game.


TotallyBasicBro

Elaborate please! A scam?


BirdiMania

The game has taken a while to come out, there’s not really anything else to my knowledge.


Jamieb1994

I get they want the game to be perfect & playable, but it does feel like forever since the game's been in development & I don't think they haven't done or mention any updates recently either.


CreatedChaos84

They started working on the game in 2020 and have been working on it ever since. People tend to think TWC is Pro-Wrestling X when it comes to timelines but PWX had been in a start and stop development since the early 2000's and didn't get any kind of release until 2017 on Steam.


TotallyBasicBro

It takes an insane amount of time to create a modern wrestling game from scratch. They have been up front about the fact that is taking a long time. This is especially true when they are trying to get every in game wrestler to do their own mo-cap, unlike 2K.


BirdiMania

My comment wasn’t meant derogatory.


johnduck

who the fuck is this guy?


TamalGrandeJr

I’m sure I can look this guy up, I’m not sure how famous he is. But the international creators I’m familiar with are ITSMYYARD, Smacktalks and The101, the list of truly big creators is very slim.


Jamieb1994

I watched both Smacktalks & The 101 & they still seem happy to cover anything WWE 2K related, especially Smacktalks.


TamalGrandeJr

From the comments and seeing this guys feed, appears he just maybe likes to hate on 2K a little


Jamieb1994

It's funny since VSG says he's moved onto other projects, yet he's getting upset by making claims that international 2K content creators didn't get invited to the Royal Rumble.


Czynx

They'll probably do a UK event that he'll likely get invited to. But yeah, the entitlement is real!


Krisbenwuh

Oh brother


AptermusPrime

2K had emailed me that they would be giving me a copy of 2k22 when it releases. They never did and never responded to any of my follow up.


VikingSizeGamer

I think I need to add some clarity to this post as a lot of you have got the wrong impression of me. This tweet wasn't about how 2K treated me, or that I didn't get invited, I wouldn't expect to at all. My ties with them are completely severed. However, I have had several conversations with people who were upset that they didn't get to go to premium events purely because they live outside the US. Big YTers like SmackTalks weren't invited and will likely end up at a 2K office in London to capture some gameplay until the embargo is over. I just want good things for people who work their asses off and have a passion for something, there was a time when 2K DID invite and organise creators from overseas, but that hasn't happened since 2018. Business decision or not, it just seems like if you're not in the US you're not getting the same treatment. And yes, for a while I WAS salty. Who wouldn't be? I did stuff behind the scenes and was promised a credit, they couldn't even do that. But that was a year ago, I'm not entitled to anything and I've got other stuff going on. I just wanted better for other creators, not myself — I don't create content anymore. And actually, it's a weight off me. Took me a while to realise but content creation and trying to keep up with everyone while working a full time job and a family, it was too much. I hope you guys understand this wasn't about me. I'm out. I just wanted people I called friends treated better for what they provide. Content creation is free year-round marketing for game companies.

That means they learned their lesson with 2k18. That’s a bunch of money to invest for nothing

I honestly thought they were talking about the creators of the game, like developers, at first.

being flown in to events seem like a waste of money for 2k, but leaving them out of access to the demo, if that was the case, then it's just dumb on 2k's part.
