The fact that Ubisoft sent an entire team to canvas the city for the game over its multi year production is also quite telling in terms of how much money is going into this.
And as if all that weren't enough, Sony and Columbia Pictures have already started pre-production on the Watch Dogs movie (before the game has even been released!), which will almost certainly be filmed in Chicago:

You don't have to be a gamer to find that "post worthy"  |
What's more, think of it this way. A huge movie like Batman may rep the city, but you only spend 2 hours watching it, then you forget it. A game like Watchdogs will take a minimum of 20 hours to complete the primary storyline. But given that they designed it with sandbox features, many gamers will spend 50-100 hours on the game... in a virtual Chicago. There is just no comparison to that kind of attachment.
