The company said the new site is free to download and play but it requires users to pay in order to unlock the hardcore mode where gamers can access countless environments, models and toys in a style that drives the micro-transaction based system.
Players can buy new toys, environments and models which are constantly being updated and released and affiliates get paid a 50 percent revenue share for the lifetime of each player for all their future purchases.
“Just a few short years ago being someone who played video games meant living on the fringe of society," Wasteland founder Colin Rowntree said. "Stereotypes of pale skin and beady eyes plagued this minority of people and yet in just a few short years gaming and the culture that surrounds it has done a complete one-eighty and exploded in popularity beyond what anyone expected."
He added, “It shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, either. Gaming has become a juggernaut of an industry with a market spanning across every ethnicity, gender and age group. Wasteland has been online for 15 years... that’s not an accident. We’ve always made looking towards the future a priority and making sure we’re ahead of the curve — hence Wasteland3D.com.”
Wasteland3D.com gives affiliates an alternative to traditional paysites, according to the company, by providing a product that can be marketed alongside tis more traditional revenue streams, but doesn’t directly compete.
“Surfers that have no interest in paysites or cams, very well may be roped in by the living breathing virtual world that Wasteland3D.com provides. Based on a successful gaming platform and engine, combined with the 15 year-old trusted Wasteland brand makes this a no-brainer for converting traffic and has performed exceedingly well during beta tests,” the company said.
