People talk about the game, it gets mentioned in movie press.

when it first started they had a truck that would go to theatres and show patrons about the game how it worked etc.

They also had a running ticker on the top of their building in West Hollywood. But is the look of the site that BAD that it is a turn off? - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 28, 23:00 7
- Well, it had the look of a late 90s site. But the new one was an aesthetic and browsing nightmare, so... -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 28, 23:07
- Personally, I think it is the gameplay that is a turnoff. - psilotum Oct 28, 23:07 5
  - Nah, I think buying and holding is viable to have a little fun. I would not have lasted 8 years otherwise. - celedhrymandias Oct 28, 23:11 4
    - But what if there were a real reward for buying an holding? - psilotum Oct 28, 23:15 3
      - They already tried something like that. Even destroyed another online movie game just for the site's name and URL. Didn't work for shit -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 28, 23:23 2
        
        I might be describing this poorly. I don't mean that there is a cash reward. I just want to have daytrading cease to be profitable. - psilotum Oct 28, 23:27 1
        
        Thought that was one of the reasons they got rid of the daily change, the market lab, to kill off short term and artificial price point trading. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 23:56
