The "hot chick" in this scenario is the awesome game company you remember, with the fake picture being their Company Logo. Whereas in reality that is a complete bait to do a switch on you with their current company who is using that logo to hide reality.

Its using the term in a metaphorical way to show that the action is similar, using an example that people already know and resent.

So metaphorically it's a specific kind of bait and switch, with a catfish, except without the fish.
