The author asserts that the image qualifies fair use for the following reasons:

Valve Corporation or Gearbox Software not release location-specific images into public domain.
The image is necessary to describe the appearance of an Race X alien; 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.
