With a print ad you might say: This magazine has x monthly readers, so that is the impressions we get and it’s rather obvious how that might give you more sales.
With the game, you might have some visitor numbers as well, but if that is translating to sales is hard to prove. Additionally, they are already on your website.
You might have to do a survey of your clients or during the order process and ask them “how did you find out about us?” or something like that. And only if enough people say “I bought something from you, because of the game on your website”, will you be able to justify the expense of maintaining it.
