Take-Two and 2K Games have claimed that in-game currencies are "fictions created by game publishers" during a rebuttal of a lawsuit.
As Axios first reported last year, Take-Two and 2K Games, which develop and publish the NBA 2K series in tandem, were sued last year. The lawsuit accused the companies of effectively stealing Virtual Currency (NBA 2K's in-game currency) from players when servers of a game are turned off forever. When any game servers are turned off, any unspent in-game currencies vanish forever.
