He should have let them use it for a few months to make sure Activision was raking in the dough with his skin, and just as they’re enjoying the fruits of his labor, he hits them with a multimillion dollar lawsuit claiming copyright infringement.
A lot of cutthroat lawyers would have been happy to represent him with a percentage of whatever he/she wins in court.

>To encourage copyright registration, Congress mandated that statutory damages are available only where the owner registered the work prior to the infringement, or at least within three months of the work' first publication if the infringement occurred before registration
https://corporate.findlaw.com/intellectual-property/are-punitive-damages-available-under-the-copyright-act.html

To be blunt, much of modern copyright law is heavily influenced by major corporations to maximize benefits for them, and minimize their liability to individuals. (This is why, for example, they can issue endless takedown notices without penalty, even when they are in the wrong.)
The best thing this guy can do is to settle the matter privately with Activision for a reasonable sum. Since this is an "upcoming" game, this sum should be small enough that Activision would just pay it instead of holding their ground, or removing it from the game entirely.

the infringer covers the legal cost, that’s why getting sued by corps’ for infringement is a big deal, because their legal teams cost orders of magnitude more than any cited damages

Actual damages is zero because it's work he posted for free online.
Infringer profit is, at this point, also zero, because it's "upcoming."
Punitive damage is zero, because the work is not registered copyright.
