Just a quick reminder for developers thinking of adding content creators to your game: ALWAYS ASK FIRST.
It's cool to be featured in a game we love, especially as a unique item/mechanic/character.
It's not cool when it's a game we've never played beforehand.

I've had my art & branding used to make a couple of 'cameos' without my permission over the last year or two, and it's seriously not fun having to tell the developers to remove them.

Is it weird that I always worry about it coming off as cringey or something? Like, I'd be worried about adding in a reference to anyone in my games in general, because there's going to be players who have no clue who this person is or what it's referencing.

Life's too short to worry about being cringe IMO. Especially since earnest, but slightly cringe content is kinda 'in' at the moment.
But also, it was really funny seeing all the players confused by the 'Tyler' item in Brotato that was a direct reference to Olexa.

For me, seeing an IRL person in a video game is a big turn off, unless the game is actually about that person.
