Unfortunately even that is now being invaded on too with viral grassroots.
But I agree with everyone else on the press subject. You might be able to get away with it on a console, but PC gamers are more detailed in what they will purchase. And seriously, after seeing the Empire: Total War reviews and what actually came out on the market, I am pretty sure everyone now knows with 100% certainty that press reviews are rewards for advertisement dollars.
Anyway, I see a lot of hijinks ahead for this game, but really nothing more or a real reason to pay the cash. Of which without that it really isn't going to draw in revenue - just a prediction - since most of these style of revenue generators fall on their ass pretty quickly.
Edit: Also, I think the PC is a poor platform choice for this from a business perspective. Just from the looks, it would most likely do better with more anime Asian art and sending it away to the PS3 instead to gauge how something like this might effect the Japanese market. (Trying not to sterotype) It might also work better as a scaled down PsP/Nintendo DS title with Wi-fi capability. But I just do not see the targeted age range sitting at a PC playing this.
