For famous people, it may soon become fashionable to sue the creators of video games. We recently told that Lindsay Lohan sued the developer of the game GTA V, Rockstar, for using her image in the game, and now Activision Blizzard, which created the game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, faced a similar case.
In this case, the former dictator of Panama Manuel Noriega turned to court, whose image was used in the game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. According to him, the game developers, Activision Blizzard, took this step without his consent, thereby violating his rights.
According to the lawyers of Noriega, such a move on the part of the creators was made intentionally in order to spur users' interest in the game. In addition, Manuel Noriega argues that if he had not figured in the game, she would not have acquired such popularity, which he has now, according to independent.co.uk.
As stated in the lawsuit, the creators of the game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 portrayed the former dictator of Panama, a murderer, a kidnapper and an enemy of the state. Noriega himself calls for compensation from Activision Blizzard for illegal use of a character like him.
At the moment, the amount of required compensation is not reported.
