People always seem to think parent company money is fluid. 2K developers don't touch what GTA brings in and vice versa. Each studio is self-sustaining.

Lol at some of these comments. . . Charles Barkley CLEARLY stated he didn't want the money for himself, he stated exactly WHO the money was for hell. . . they threw bones at these celebrities and rappers, they DON'T hoop in the NBA other than the All Star Celebrity games most of us DON'T even use period so STOP it. . . besides. . . there are countless of us old heads out here who still play 2K, Ijs. . .

DJ dlc. Haha. Maybe that's what they should do, add dlc stuff.

2K has a lot of money for celebrities but not for Legends. I totally agree with Sir Charles

Gotta look at it this way. In theory they are paying 1 million dollars for Barkley .

Not directly of course . But imagine if more and more stars starting making million dollar demands .

the same vast majority who would buy virtual currency and virtual accessories for hundred of extra bucks...

And to be fair...I personally don't know that many players before the 80's outside of the superstars. Honestly, I don't believe it makes financial sense to go after all these "classic" players. What they could start doing is give us the last 3 seasons of each team to use in PNO.

He says this every year, and I agree with him. 2K never answers him.
$1 million shouldn't be a problem for 2K to pay so there must be some other problem.
