The company has offered to cover the traffic fines of any driver caught speeding on October 11, which is the launch date the game. The country's government was not amused by the ploy, however. Officials fear that the offer will only encourage reckless driving and could cause injuries and accidents -- for which Acclaim does not offer restitution.

Unless they knew it was never going to fly and fully planned on retracting the offer and apologizing as soon as it went viral. So they get the free press for the game because everyone's talking about how dumb it is, but ultimately the company's reputation isn't really impacted because people simply blame a bad marketing team which says nothing about the quality of their games. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
