Idk if this woman could or not but I know Riot Games once lost a lawsuit because a World Cup theme skin they made looked too much like an actual player and copied some iconic part of his look or something. He sued them and won years after having acknowledged and having thanked riot for the tribute. Riot had to disclose how much money the skin had made so they could decide on a percentage cut he’d get. Internet tells me it was a Dutch court though so who knows how it’d go in the US

It should not have. The idea that the image for Edgar Davids’ likeness being the inspiration for the Lucian skin helped its sales or otherwise harmed Davids is absurd. He lost no money; I sincerely doubt his popularity affected the sale of the skin. But that’s my humble opinion.
Same mentality is probably why people in this *thread are asking if she’s owed money. Inspiration, homage, and references aren’t plagiarism or copyright infringement.

Call of Duty got in trouble with a skin as well.
