Hey, how are the duders at ComicVine handling this? I don't even know what this means to them.

I'm mostly a Vine user, and I'm worried. What does Gamespot want with a comic book site? And of course, the wiki uses tech that got sold to a different firm. Converting it to MediaWiki will undoubtedly break a lot of stuff. I'd be gutted to lose the wiki database, especially all the uploaded comic book covers.
How long until Bejeweled Blitz and Zuma Blitz start advertising Playfish and EA's Facebook games? I wouldn't be surprised to see PopCap themed items in games like Pet Society either. Bejeweled diamond? Zuma frog? (Plants vs) Zombie doll? ;)
Bingo. A tie-in is say, a game released at the same time as the movie it's based on. But if that movie happens to be a new Prince of Persia or Tomb Raider film for example, it wouldn't be licensed, as those are game franchises in the first place. Thus Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness is a tie-in but not a licensed game. A licensed game though isn't necessarily a tie-in. There's the Ghostbusters example iAmJohn mentioned, and the Godfather, for example, and an even more obvious one: Lego Star Wars, which was released after all six films and thus is not a tie-in, but is licensed for both Star Wars and Lego.
DJ Hero 3D has a release listed, but it seems to have been cancelled along with the Guitar Hero franchise, and thus will never be released. Same goes for True Crime: Hong Kong, which was also cancelled and has three releases listed which now won't happen.
