...off the news reports alone. IE, this article. People become shocked/intrigued/interested and buy the game just because of the media buzz. It doesn't have to be a long term media campaigne, or, in fact, be an actualized advertisment method to get a buzz going. The media is providing the advertisment without them actually going through with the marketing scheme, which makes for free ads and quick consumption by a variety of target audiences.

So, there you go.
