Answer :

answer:It just goes to show how hard up (i.e. running out of money) these guys are. But it’s capitalism. If some idiot wants to sell his image so that other idiots can see the image while they’re playing games, so what? The game developers (or maybe marketers) seem to think that this sort of thing will increase sales. And that’s what it’s all about. As a Spacey fan (from the movies) I’m disappointed in him. But so what? I’m exercising my market role to not buy the game he is in.
