According to news reports in Southern California where their headquarters are located, they have been reduced to peddling the game to mom and pop stores, apparently in order to boost flagging sales. They're 'splainin this as some kind of creative marketing strategy but it's hard to believe that if this thing were flying off the shelves at Target or Best Buy that they would be selling this with all of the "creativity" of a door-to-door Fuller Brush salesman from the 1950s. Worse, their stock price (you didn't think this was a ministry, did you?) has dropped more than 80% in the past ninety days from a high of 7.44 on October 27th, which was right about the time they launched the game, down to today's close of 1.17. Despite worldwide publicity and a base of tens of millions of readers of the books who should be buying the game in droves, they have only managed to sell 65,000 copies of the game. Apparently gamers don't want this game on their PCs any more than investors want it in their portfolios.
