INDIEPATH Ltd announced today the launch of Pjio.com 's8211; a next generation video game portal where the community is in control of the content.
Tim Fisher, founder of Pjio.com describes the portal this way, I like to think that I have created the YouTube of games. Like YouTube the communities develop and grow around the content,
Pjio is very much a step away from the existing portal model 's8211; the Pjio community is in control of the content and the developers keep all the profit from the influenced sales.
The game loader technology, the same technology as used on miniclip.com enables Windows games, written in any programming language, to be delivered as web games - even games written
decades ago in MS-DOS can take advantage of the site services. Developers may display their games either windowed, or full screen for a more gratifying presentation.
Another interesting aspect of the Pjio portal is the revenue sharing business model that is sure to attract developers looking for game hosting, and a slice of the advertising pie.
Pjio.com is offering game contributors a share in the advertising revenues generated on and off site. The percentage varies from 20% to 50% and is dependent upon the level of integration
into the site.
We are encouraging game developers to upload and share their games with the community. says Tim, By making video games more accessible and providing the developers with financial rewards
we hope to encourage others to make and share their own games in the same way that YouTube encourages people to make and share their own videos.
All the games on the site are free to play, however, premium features will be enabled in the near future unlocking additional game content in exchange for credits that can be purchased or
earned through community activity. Loyalty credits and Karma are awarded for activities such as game plays, posting comments, rating games, reporting abuse and taking part in group
discussions. The greater the Karma, the more active the player is in the community, the more active the community, the better the content.
The strategy is clear; to create, maintain and consistently deliver new, innovative features that position Pjio.com as The web destination for video game players and developers.
Developers gain access to a receptive community, gain valuable feedback, earn a share of revenues and benefit from the viral marketing model where the players can embed their favorite
games in their own web pages for their friends and colleagues to play. Players benefit from the potentially limitless content and loyalty rewards that can be exchanged for prizes,
discounts and premium features. The community features such as leader boards, chat lobbies, groups, buddies and on-site messaging make the site a compelling place for committed game
players to come, stay, and play.
Gamers seeking more than traditional portals have been able to offer, and developers seeking new distribution channels than their choice of technology has previously allowed, can expect
to play the web, from the comfort of their browser, with convenience to match.
