Breaking Gamer News: "Media Mogul, Political Edition", is now available!

Attention, all Gamers!

Ever wanted to be your own Media Mogul?

Who doesn't, right?

Ever imagine being the authoritarian head of a multi-billion dollar news and entertainment empire, a Real Player in the world of shaping public opinion for profit and fun?

The sole owner and CEO of Reuters, AP, NYT, CBS....Disney, Comcast? Even Fox!

The latest version of the hit Media Mogul video game series now available: "Media Mogul - Political Edition", let's you do exactly that!

Use Fear. Use Praise. Use Distraction. Use Money. Use religion! Choose from over 16 individual, customizable "Media Mood Changers".

Media Mogul - Political Edition, with downloadable real time geo-political updates*, is a simulated real world, real time on-line video game originally designed and created to be played only by corporate media Executive Officers and Boards of Directors in charge of multi-outlet international media empires, but now available for the Home Gamer!

Yes, it is true, the famed High Capacity Media Simulator once only available for use by the real corporate media moguls of the world has now be been adapted for consumer Gamer play.

Start the game by hiring a wide variety of central casting actors, ranked on the Trust and Ratings Metric, one of many socio-metrics the Gamer will have to manage and manipulate.

Be careful for any "Brian Williams" problems!

Should you choose "Fox" option and double down on the media lies you created, or the "NBC" option and give a time limited paid leave of absence? Keep an eye on your Trust Meter readings!

Now YOU can decide what is true and what is not!

In this new politically themed Media Mogul version, the Gamer's ultimate tool is the vast cobweb of media controlled outlets directly controlled by the Mogul's corporation itself. Then there are the other media corporations you try to influence - all towards the penultimate goal of bending the will of The People - the "target audience".

The ultimate goal in this version of Mogul Media is as always variable, depending on how much time the Gamer has, but the general goal is always the same - to sway public opinion to either the political left or right, as tracked in the Game by periodic topical Game generated Opinion Polls.

Try to start WW3!... if you have the time - try your hand at a domestic or foreign coup in the Quick Game version!

Got a favorite Democratic or Republican Presidential nominee? Get them in The Game with secret million dollar gifts from Secret Donors! Watch out for fake scandals!

For greater ease of play for non-experienced Media Moguls, you can even switch off the default "Citizens's United ON" mode, which removes SuperPacs, the Kochs and the Adeslsons.

In single player mode play either as the MSM, cable news, social media on one side. Or you can choose Fox on the other - other RW media outlet combinations are endless.

Mogul Media, Political Edition.

Get it and get in the Game.

*monthly subscription fee for real time updates TBA after consumer purchase

.................

Coming to a real world video store near you, April 1st release, fool.

Also try our award winning Media Mogul - Religion Edition, now on sale.

Order at 1-800-BEA-FOOL...or not.

The random events generator in the game is cruelest to those that lie....computers reject anything not logical.

But a good sandbox game is a lot of fun.
