Take-Two Interactive, publisher of Red Dead Redemption 2, is in a legal battle with the security company Pinkerton over the use of characters Andrew Milton and Edgar Ross, two Pinkerton agents featured in Rockstar's latest title.
As reported by The Verge, this all began when Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations sent Take-Two a cease-and-desist letter over the previously mentioned characters in December.
Pinkerton appreciated Rockstar's "clear affection" for Pinkerton, but felt the developer was "creating a false impression that the game was made by or connected with Pinkerton," which it is not, and it is demanding Take-Two "pay either a lump sum or ongoing royalties."
