Olympic games event- why not?

I see, but what about in-game itself. In what jurisdiction the in-game space is? Japanese, Canadian? And how any law can forbid to use any word such as GOLD or SUMMER? Yes, there is the world Olympic Organization, but this organization can not make rules or laws on the territory of different independent countries and can not forbid to use something, connected with Olympic games

The Olympics is a protected brand/trademark, just like Iron Man or Coca Cola. SE would need to license it before they could put it in the game. Even if SE just made a "5 rings" symbol of the Eorzean cities they could face a lawsuit. The jurisdiction would probably be Japan, because "in-game" is a product created by a Japanese company in Japan.

As for "how can a law forbid...?", that's what my links were for, to show it has already been done. Also, Tokyo will host the Olympic summer games in 2020. They would be directly under these very strict rules set by the Olympics and enforced by Japan/Tokyo.

Edit: OP: It's an interesting idea, but it might be a whole game patch worth of work and be a huge distraction from the regular game. Also, I hope all goes well for the Olympics in Sochi.
