Old brands.

[Yuri_Zhukov 11]

What about old brands? Shall we expect the brands like  "Adidas", "Audi" or "Apple" in Identity?

Those brands are trademarked and copyrighted. You can't use them in game without consent or permission - you could make knock off brands though that look similar

I knon it, but maybe administation of Identity will cooperate with popular brands.

I doubt it why spend more money on getting trademarked things when you can make knockoffs.

Personally id find it funny if they did make humorous Knock offs off the products/brand names

Unfortunately, this has already happened. Allow me to refresh your memories with a "wibbly-wobbly,timey-wimey" screenshot:

There is no need to spend money, instead make deal with brands about advertising their products in the game.

That's not how the real world works, in the end It's all about money.

I'm not blind. What did you actually mean by saying this?

Buying the permissions to use trademarked brands would cost way too much for it to be worth it, and considering massive companies such as Rockstar North didn't do it with GTA that somewhat suggests the financial restrictions on a much smaller Dev company that few have actually heard of.

Perhaps an inclusion of GTA's Fruit phones, Facade or Lifeinvader?

Ye ye i meant they didn't actually buy the permissions to use the brand names, they used knock offs instead
