WWE 2K publisher Take-Two Interactive – as well as the WWE itself – have been ordered to pay damages to a tattoo artist whose designs appeared in multiple wrestling games.
A jury has decided the companies must pay $3750 to Catherine Alexander, who designed tattoos for pro wrestler Randy Orton, after their likenesses appeared on Orton’s character in WWE 2K16, 17 and 18.
Alexander had pushed for a higher amount, including a share of profits from the games, Reuters reported. Still, the decision appears to mark a landmark judgement that may affect future usage rights in other games in future.
