Soccer icon Maradona threatens to sue Konami
Video game licenses for athletes have been a thorny subject for years, and it’s seldom just a matter of signing an agreement and calling it a day. You frequently have to worry about faces, names and jersey numbers as separate concerns, and a misstep can cost you dearly. Even using tattoos without permission can get you into trouble. It’s possible that Konami thought it was abiding by the rules and still didn’t get Maradona’s full permission, assuming this is anything more than a simple misunderstanding.
