Happy Mercenary Day everyone!

Because I'm lucky enough to be able to afford to buy myself this little DLC today, I thought I'd celebrate by giving away another copy. http://itstoohard.com/puzzle/drVMRREj

EDIT: Of course, the answer to question #1 is in debate. I'm open to the possibility that I'm wrong, and if so I apologize. Nonetheless, I think this thread contains ample evidence that the puzzle can be solved, as well as hints for those who might have been misled. Yay for learning!

Well.. all the PMC's I know of aren't it.. so it must not be very big xD Or, I typed one of them wrong. Anyone know is Capital letters place any difference? as I been doing all lowercase.

EDIT: [SOLVED]

When I entered the name I used an initial cap, as per wikipedia, but when I check the answer it seems that it's not case sensitive at all? This is my first puzzle, so sorry if that added an extra barrier. This should be easy to solve with google and wikipedia.

I mustn't be understanding the question. The answer should be g4s

Ok after a few guesses, I figure out who you meant, but your answer is wrong, it's G4S

I'm not too familiar with G4S, so maybe it's debatable, but wikipedia lists them as a "security" company rather than a PMC.

EDIT: Thanks for drawing my attention to them, though. I chose the questions hoping someone might end up learning something while trying to get a free game, and it turns out I'm learning things myself!

Check the very first sentence at the top of the Wikipedia page, and the right side info box for the company you have as the answer. It is also labeled "security services". It's the politically correct term people use these days, and sounds classier (I guess) than "private army" or "mercs".

But a lot of what they do isn't mercenary work. The company I picked doesn't provide municipal transit security, as far as I know.
