Have key points in the game where they would have to aknowledge they have a paypal account set up to advance futher. Maybe towards the end they have to donate just 1 cent to fight the final boss.

Re: Zbrush 4 coming august 2009 :)
Kev, Arsh, et all: It's true. They're just tools to do our jobs. That approach has been said and used from artists in our industry for a while now and it works. It should be everyone's approach.
