I think spam could be a good alternative. Most people loathe spam, as i do too, but is a good advertisement approach. Most feel they are above this, but I felt I had to tell what I thought about this.... You may not believe, but the most frequent Spam I receive is for a ANTI-SPAM Software, by McAfee. It's not something I enjoy, but if I was looking for a Anti-spam software I'd have a place to start. If you put a pop-up linked with game and ME related sites or SPAM mail, I believe you could recruit a bunch of people that otherwise may not ever hear about it. Even more, maybe someone looking to ditribute the game in their country. Being that Harle seeks to acquire the game, this would be welcome to pay off the bank loans....

If you just refuse to use spam, or if you are into that "I don't like when they do it to me, so I won't do it to others", that's ok, but this is a "technique" that is just plain functional, and will probably generate real results, improving the economical welfare of the company, and expanding the number of thinking minds devoting lives to this great game...
