GameWager
Compete-for-tokens online PC gaming service gets helping hand from Nolan Bushnell.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Austin, TX- Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari & Chuck E Cheese, aims to combine the success of both into a new service that is introducing similar dynamics to existing PC games with its’ unique online platform called GameWager.
Designed for gamers of all skill levels, GameWager’s platform introduces a reward system that lets gamers earn virtual tokens for completing in-game actions like kills, objectives and team wins in multiplayer PC games like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2. Earned tokens can be redeemed for a chance to win sponsored prizes like Alienware laptops, Nvidia graphic cards, a Hypernia hosted server for 1 year and much more. Nolan serves as an “executive advisor” to the company that has seen over 60,000 gamers earn 25 million tokens since its launch last July.
For the hardcore, GameWager allows gamers to directly wager tokens against each other in real-time to settle virtual trash talking; a first of its kind in the video game industry that is desperately looking for new revenue streams to offset exponential development costs studios now face.
GameWager also offers interactive social tools that allow gamers to brag, share and compare all of their aggregated game stats across hundreds “GameWager enabled” of servers worldwide.
The free service has made it very easy for all gamers with nothing to download or install and the sign up process taking less than ten seconds. The company has many titles in development that span the industry’s genres from World of Warcraft, Call of Duty 4 and Red Alert 3 to casual games on site.
