I had a feeling I was wrong.

As a result of the out-of-court settlement, Lambert has agreed to not appear in any adverts that feature video games for a period of two years.

According to settlement details cited by Media Post, Lambert also agreed to give Sony full notice if he appears in any video game adverts once the block is lifted. This will provide Sony time to "assess whether or not Lambert's intended performance violates [Sony's] rights in the Kevin Butler character".

So now they're making a private actor seek out their permission before he takes on a gig? Freakin' Sony. All the collosal moaning and groaning over the "MASSIVE resources" being lost and brand image utterly destroyed reeks of over exaggerated butt hurt.
