Did Midway Buckle to Las Vegas Political Pressure in Naming New Game?

Last week Midway announced a new title, This is Vegas, set to release later this year. The open-world game looks to be a Grand Theft Auto knock-off with perhaps a bit of a satirical flair.

While perusing the press release, GamePolitics couldn't help wondering whether Midway execs had bowed to political and/or legal pressure over the game's title. GamePolitics readers may recall that in March of 2007 the site covered a dust-up between Las Vegas city officials and Midway over the phrase Only in Vegas.
