The creator of the AK-50 comments on his gun appearing in Call of Duty without permission.
This is a weird one since this is a custom built gun, made for entertainment purposes as part of someone's business. It's closer to art than any production model gun and therefore definitely deserves credit before reproducing the design in your own products.
But in a general sense, do game Devs typically even bother asking for permission to use any of the guns in their games anymore?
I admit my trend in gaming tends to run more... not current, but it always threw me off a little when playing un-modded Stalker and the lengths they went to NOT use the actual names for in-game guns.
Thank goodness for mods.
I mean, there are alot of gun manufacturers that are actual big deals, money wise, so game devs atleast try to paste on a fig-leaf of deniability so as to deflect any legal attention if said companies don't like the association.
