How about program the game in such a way that it references up-to-date current events and topics where needed (sort of how Microsoft is making its next Flight Sim... use the Bing Maps data, so that the terrain and everything is always current). Could be an idea.
Until I played one of the Carmen games from 1995 with Lynn Thigpen, and I found a note left behind from one of her agents, I didn't realize that Carmen pays her people too Lol
