NBA 2K20 Adds Free ‘I Can’t Breathe’ and Black Lives Matter Shirts, Meanwhile EA Outlines Steps to Curb Toxicity
Recent events in the Unites States that stemmed from the harrowing killing of George Lloyd have led to a large number of companies around the globe ? including Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo ? issuing statements on racism. The games industry has vowed to take steps to combat the issue, with major companies acknowledging that they haven?t done enough to curb toxicity within their games.
Earlier this week, a number of Take-Two games took their servers offline to honor Floyd and show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement, following which NBA 2K20 players noticed that the in-game store was offering free ?Say Their Names,? ?I Can?t Breathe,? and Black Lives Matter shirts. ?I can?t breathe? weren?t just Floyd?s last words, they were also Eric Garner?s last words prior to his 2014 death at the hands of a NYPD officer.
