He's absolutely right! He'd be violating a trademark, not copyright.

Further, just because a name like that came be "copyrighted" doesn't mean the rest of the game isn't lmao.

If I made Nuclear D.C., a post apocalyptic game set it the Fallout universe in Washington D.C. as a followup to Fallout 3, I wouldn't magically be okay just because it's set in a "real" place.
