A tattoo artist has successfully sued 2K Sports and its parent company Take-Two Interactive for including her designs in WWE 2K video games
Alexander filed the lawsuit in 2018, claiming that her tattoo designs had been used without her permission in WWE 2K16, WWE 2K17 and WWE 2K18.
As such, Orton’s character model in the WWE 2K games also included the tattoos, as a result of 2K’s attempts to authentically recreate his appearance.In her original suit, Alexander claimed that she had contacted WWE in 2009 regarding the sale of Randy Orton merchandise featuring her design, and was offered $450 for the rights, which she turned down.
The jury determined that Alexander was entitled to $3,750 in damages. It also determined that since none of the game’s profits came as a direct result of her tattoos being included, she wasn’t entitled to any further compensation.
