The image is necessary to describe the appearance of a unique location in Liberty City, as depicted in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The image serves to illustrate a location; nothing else.
The screenshot is not intended to hinder the copyright owner's ability to sell the game.
This image is a screenshot and thus immediately falls in fair use.
