The Wikipedia article is a little iffy. First off, that's actually a redirect page; the financial crisis took place in 2007 and 2008, not from 2007-2010. Second, it doesn't actually name a reference for that information, nor does it imply that the events took place immediately afterward. I watched a developer interview, and they mentioned that this game takes advantage of the world's situation following that crisis (which it did), but I still don't see an actual source for 2010 and 2011 being the game's years. The only source I found was the official website, which says 20XX.
