We implemented ads to keep this website free to view content, we'll never offer subscriptions for any user to use our content. Our virtual arcade is intended to have free to play text-based games.
The key purpose of displaying ads is to reduce the burden of visitors paying for these games what we develop on our website. However; ads keep this virtual arcade free. Most game developers often charge users for playing games. Well, some visitors don't use debit cards, or they're unbanked. Supporting the unbanked community is key to enable the unbanked community to play our text-adventure games. In some countries where people are in poverty, or relying on public libraries, having ads displayed on our website is key to keep our game freee of charge. However; we don't keep 100% of our ad revenue to ourselves; we plan out when we use some of our ad revenue for other uses.
If we didn't have ads displayed on our website; costs may go up, and we have to deal with paying customers, and handle too many credit card payments that are too difficult to keep up,--causing our ability to sift out problematic charges. Preventing risk of chargebacks is key to enable players to play our games for free. Free games with ads displayed is like virtually inserting a coin into a machine, and playing a game.
We don't just rely on 1 ad network; we diversify which ad network is suitable for us to diversify our revenue portfolio. We also have our own ad server as a way to display self-hosted ads from various communities around the world.
We join the Brave Crators network to monetize our text-adventure games as a way to monetize our site with a different method.
Walled gardens is not welcomed on our website because, we prefer to keep our game open for anyone to play. It's like a fairground for everybody!
