Yeah. With how copyright claim happy companies like Take Two Interactive are I could see them doing that to any game set in your New York that had a slightly brown hue. Would be a funny trend though if publishers started going to court over the piss and shit filter that games of the mid 2000s had like Fallout 3, GTA 4, and Resident Evil 5.
The premise is pretty absurd though. Just because your game was popular in the west means you now own the Soviet aesthetic. Never mind the dozens of other titles that have done it but haven’t seen widespread acclaim.
