[utahtio]

While you can still purchase a physical retail copy of NBA 2K13, according to Amazon, the PC digital download has been pushed to October 30th.

The previous release date was October 16th.

Try www.ultimatumgamekeys.com

They appear to have it available.

There is no DD release yet, so beware of scams. OnlineKeyStore supposedly has it available, and they give you a photographed retail CD key and the game with the pirated exe, which means you can't activate your key with 2K's servers.

2K are doing pretty much what EA did with PC towards the end of Madden, NBA, NHL etc - make it extremely easy for people to justify pirating it. Then in a year or two they'll claim piracy killed the PC version.

You know, I may not be so ticked off over this if 2K would simply step up and communicate what they are doing and why. Both times they never announced it was being delayed. We had to find out ourselves. That's just plain ridiculous IMO.

I do have to agree with others that they are doing it to intentionally try and kill the PC version. I'll be surprised if they make it again next year for PC.

In the meantime, I still haven't got to play since I'd rather have it through steam than physical disk. Now starting to consider not getting it, since obviously 2K has a problem taking $ from PC users.

This is laughable. I agree with Prometheus, if 2K were to be up front about the delays and the reasons behind them I wouldn't be so ticked off.

What I don't understand is WHY they would be trying to kill the PC version? With Steam and DD sales, they have no product to package, no shipping costs, no breakage or returns... it's basically free money for 2k sports. I can only hope that the DD version is delayed because they are still working on refining it. Maybe they are putting in a more robust online system to encourage DD releases of future titles? Maybe they are working to add back some of the features they left out in the physical PC version? Otherwise, I cannot fathom why they would be turning away free money.

If anyone from 2k sports reads these forums, please enlighten us PC users why it has been delayed twice. I've bought the last few nba 2k titles on the 360, and feel I deserve at least an explanation why my new platform of choice is being neglected.
