This is Capitalism gone wrong, Greed at a level reflected on disgusting levels. Many years from now, Society will look back and wonder, how and why this greed got this bad in all facets of life. I feel for the many kids... and NONE of you streamers learned, YOU ALL are playing again, making video. Troydan Pack Opening last year was disgusting. This is a sad excuse of a basketball game.

I mean this with the most sincerity, you are my favorite and I consider you the most; unbiased,thoughtful, and overall “average” speaker on the MT community front. I understand your relations with other content creators but you have the most REALISTIC takes one this community. As someone who is turning 30 next year, and has played 2k since 2k08, as selfish as it may be….. I beg you don’t ever quit creating videos regarding this game mode! All your rants and bitch aside, thank you for taking a “bullet” for all of us in your consistent criticism of the company on behalf of all of us. Im a business owner but my gross profit and net income isn’t over 6 digits a year. I do my best and have season tickets to the mavs. That said, the 2k I fell I love with isn’t even remotely what the brand represents today.

Even sniping, when a new set is dropped, thats the best time cause nobody knows the best prices for each player.
