Line 42:
* ''[[Postal 4: No Regerts]]'' parodies COVID with the "Pigeona" virus, a pigeon spread disease with roughly similar symptoms. This is also why many pedestrians are masked - true to the game and its [[True Art Is Offensive]] roots, you can even use "Pigeon Mines" to attack people with clouds of disease-carrying pigeons.
* ''[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater|Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2]]'' not only aged up the [[Real Life]] pro skaters from the original but also has a [[Setting Update]] where the remake now takes place in 2020 right during the onset of the pandemic, as evidenced by the face mask accessory and COVID-related PSAs urging students to learn at home while the lockdowns were still in place. This also served as a convenient [[Hand Wave]] to explain the lack of NPCs in the remake as in the original game, even if hardware limitations imposed by the PS1 are no longer a concern.
* Technically also a [[Real Life]] example, [[Star Citizen|CitizenCon]] was not held in real life in 2020, 2021 or 2022 (except as a digital livestream, much like E3 and CES). Of course, despite the perception of a fair amount of the [[Hatedom]] around ''Star Citizen'', [[Perpetual Beta|the game's alpha]] had actually already reached the point that [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|multiple in-universe conventions]] were held [[One Nation Under Copyright|in the Stanton system]]'s Bevin Convention Center on [[City Planet|ArcCorp]] and the Tobin Expo Center in New Babbage on [[Single-Biome Planet|microTech]] in 2950, 2951 and 2952 (Star Citizen's in-game events are staggered ahead of real life by 930 years) with no significant issues.
