There's a reason why GM, Ford, Porsche, etc, get to charge for games to use their products. Because they footed the bill to make them! Hell, a lot of companies push their products to be in films (see any Michael Bay movie) to get free advertising. Seeing how large the gaming market is (bigger than the movie industry) you'd think they'd be thrilled to have their products featured in a game.

Then again, the companies that cater to the US military are among the greediest most corrupt companies out there, and have no qualms with wasting billions of dollars of other people's money, or trying to squeeze a few extra dimes out of some little operation.

that's why their paying there taxpayer loans back fast, so we can't use the taxpayer owend products. lol
