AI Summary

Digital game storefronts treat purchases as revocable licenses, and physical discs are disappearing. A player who bought the NBA 2K25 All‑Star Edition for $99.99 at its September 2024 launch received just over two years of access to the MyCareer single‑player mode before 2K ends support. The company removed the title from all digital stores on October 30, 2026, and plans to shut down its online servers on December 31, 2026. Because MyCareer relies on those servers, the mode will cease to function once they are offline.
