I don't know the cost may be a lot lower than returns and they may
well be able to persuade them to reduced fee if they feel the games
need promoting.
They certainly need to do something.
Must admit not sure how people will believe the actual
personalities anyway, ok if you saw Arnie sitting in front of
painting desk at home might certainly get people thinking but if did
advert most people would just think they would be paid to do it and
have no vested interest.
