WWE 2K21: 10 Ways To Save A Dying Franchise

10. Apologise For 2K20's Mess

First things first, an apology wouldn't go amiss.

2K and VC willingly released a product they knew would be a disaster. They were fully aware of 2K20's shortcomings, but pushed the game out there anyway due to a contractually-agreed release date. The result was severe fan backlash, refunds, patches that still haven't sorted every problem and a broken mess.

2K20 wasn't a finished product, and damning reviews couldn't even tell the full story of fan frustrations. It'd go a long way with a scarred audience if 2K and Visual Concepts came out with a public, frank apology for what happened. That, to date, still hasn't been offered (patches don't count, especially when the game is still horrendously unfinished).

The audience that buys these games every year is a loyal one, but they've had the p*ss taken out of them recently. After sticking with the WWE series through thick and thin, everybody deserves to hear 2K and VC say they're sorry.
