Cease and Desist – Parodies and Infringement in Video Games

Sierra did have a business relationship with Disney in the early 80s, Dinosaurs is Disney but made by Henson, so maybe they thought it'd be okay?

Edit: There's also a Dinosaurs Easter egg in QfG I.

So Dinosaurs was owned by Disney, though Disney didn't own ABC until... 1997?

[dsparil]

Yeah. Disney had the closest relationship to ABC out of all the networks.

[Discoalucard]

I think that Dinosaurs one is the only one they didn't patch out.

Hitman 2 Silent Assasin first demo(Bulid 205) some weapon uses real names while in second demo and full version uses diffrent names
for example
AMT Hardballer = Silverballer
Berreta 92 = 9mm pistol
Spas 12 = SP12

Maybe this one?

That's something you'll see all over the place in video games, most famously with Goldeneye and many subsequent James Bond FPS games (Quantum of Solace on PS3/360/PC even makes their fake gun names into subtle references to the names of other Bond films). Loads of examples in this TV Tropes article, naturally.

The Ion Maiden FPS was renamed Ion Fury because the name sounded too similar to Iron Maiden.
