2K Games has temporarily restored online services to its basketball sim , 2K Games support representatives sent emails to customers explaining that they could still play the game in offline mode, albeit with a new save file. This meant that all progress in the game was lost.

But on Tuesday evening, the publisher sent a notice to GameSpot explaining that the servers have been restored and will remain live for another nine months. It means that the same save files will become inaccessible again, in January 2016, but players now have more time to finish their single-player career modes.

2K Games also announced that it is extending the online lifespan of all subsequent NBA 2K games from 18 to 27 months.

"It gives our players more time to experience and enjoy the highest rated NBA simulation video game franchise," a statement read.

"The opinions of our community continue to have a positive impact on our business decisions as we strive to create the best possible experience for all of our fans.”

KS: In January 2013, Milton-Bradley began an online campaign called Save Your Token. They were discontinuing one of the game pieces in their long-running Monopoly boardgame and wanted fans to voice their favor. The response was immediate and fevered; people take their Monopoly pieces very seriously. Though the game has taken its fair share of derision as other, more complex (or streamlined) games grew in popularity, I still remember the heated debates as a child when picking who gets the top hat and who gets the thimble. I often chose the lonely, disreputable iron. Little did I know it was not long for this world: The iron only received 8% of the popular vote, even though it is far superior to the other bottom-dwellers, wheelbarrow and shoe, and is no longer packed in with the game.

Paul James of BGU writes "Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch was one of the great games of 2013, a game of the year winner in many years, unfortunate to miss out on many accolades thanks in large part to both Grand Theft Auto V and The Last of Us. The game, critically unrecognised at the pointy end of the year perhaps suffered from the fact that it released in January of 2013, and a victim of early year release syndrome. All these compounded issues and exclusivity on the PS3 meant that despite critical acclaim and in excess of 1.4 million sales, Ni No Kuni was criminally ignored by the vast majority of gamers worldwide, and the question Im left asking myself is Will we get a sequel?"
