Got a bit of a dilemma on this piece.
THQ, prior to bankruptcy, owned Volition, who made the Saints Rows series and also a Punisher game in 2005.
Saints Row 3 referenced the Punisher by having a group of Newspaper clippings which could be found in Kinzie's Warehouse. These clippings are from the Punisher Comics.

The texture for this is sadly low-res, but the upper right corner is pretty easy to tell. It's a panel from "Punisher: Welcome Back Frank Part 4" in which the Punisher punches a Polar Bear.![[Image: q3UTTos.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/q3UTTos.jpg)
Even took a small photo a good time ago when I first noticed it.

Seems pretty cut and dry, except I tried to record a video of this just today when I noticed nobody sent this in.

All the clippings had been changed, but the red marker had been left.
SR3 came out in November 2011, but THQ went under almost an entire year after that, and then the rights finally went over to Deep Silver in 2013.
I can't find anything official about it, even in patch notes and such, so I'm guessing this was just a stealth thing done during the liquidation process, as THQ/Volition probably lost the Punisher video-game rights and Volition went to Deep Silver.
Problem is, no solid proof beyond "there was a thing here, but now it's gone."
I'm a bit confused as to how I would submit this, if it's still applicable.
