Re: Marketing SE V
This is also called 'viral marketing' and is likely to get more and more difficult because of all the virus and spam problems plaguing the net. People will have to get more wary about cute emails 'from friends' and anti-spam/anti-virus filters will become more and more persnickety.
'Ordinary' marketing via the Internet is not that difficult or expensive anyway. MM just needs a truly excellent game and a few good reviews on the game sites. SE IV is good but not really excellent. It has some problems, like no way to control micro-management. The reason it got noticed by so many after the debacle of MOO 3 is that it doesn't suck as much as MOO 3. If it were really great it would have sold millions of copies with all the notice it got.
