Yeah. It would create insane continuity problems. This reminds me of 
the Japanese phenomenon of doing video games with insanely 
complicated based on anime, and creating their own continuity. [and 
then anime/comics books based on video games, etc.]

I should hope they give you credit, or maybe a site plug in the 
credits of the video game. It seems like the only fair thing to do, 
even if you don't get money out of it. Perhaps you should email them
