Technically, no. Never took the exams. But I'm not far off being able to do that, if I were to go back to school and brush up in some areas. More to the point of that post, I have dealt extensively with these types of issues during my time working in marketing, publishing, and distribution and have been on both sides of lawsuits over intellectual property and trademarks, so I know the grounds on which those cases can go to court. And I know that the general rule is if you have the money for a legal team and a case that even halfway makes sense, you can make things hell for the little guy to the point where most folks just quit.
So yeah. I highly doubt we will see "Marshmallow Sailor Man" as a monster in this game. Why poke the sleeping tiger that is Columbia/Universal/whatever?
Ghostbusters is still an active franchise too, at least as far as computer games are concerned although a third film has been rumoured for an age and doesn't seem to be materialising (at least not last time I paid any attention)
