On the game’s official website, it is written: “Are you a politician? a candidate for real political office? an MP in the UK? A Senator or member of the House of Representatives in the US? or the equivalent anywhere in the world? If so, I…a humble games programmer from the UK would like to give you a free gift. a FREE copy of Democracy 2 for you to practice with.”
Marketing? A virtual slap on politics? You can call it as you wish, but it seems that this initiative was not completely ignored: Positech reports that Councillor Allan Andrews from Coventry was the first politician to accept a free Democracy 2 copy and there’s another politician that applied for the game, but he or she wants to remain anonymous for now. We’ll keep you updated if things get even more interesting!
