WildTangent is a Redmond, Washington based game network, privately held in the United States that powers game services for several PC manufacturers including Dell and HP. Collectively, WildTangent’s owned and operated service reaches over 20 million monthly gamers in the United States and Europe with a catalog of more than 1000 games from nearly 100 developers. The company recently announced its upcoming Android games service launching at the end of 2011. It also announced its launch partner is T-Mobile. The company also manages the advertising sales for a group of gaming properties including Mochi Media, Sony Online Entertainment's ''Free Realms'', PopCap, PlayFirst, as well as Artix’s ''AdventureQuest'', ''DragonFable'', ''Namco'', and ''MechQuest'' properties. The company owns a patent portfolio covering in-game advertising and app delivery technologies. WildTangent makes money through a combination of online sales, subscription, advertising and micro-transactions using a proprietary micro-currency called WildCoins. ==WildCoins== WildCoins are a micro-currency launched by WildTangent in the fall of 2006 to give gamers a way to pay for gameplay other than full retail purchase. WildCoins work like quarters used at a traditional arcade. Gamers can purchase WildCoins and use them to play any games on the network. Each time the gamer inserts the required number of coins, he or she can play the game for up to 24 hours, or until the user voluntarily exits the game, without having to use more WildCoins. Advertisers can also purchase WildCoins and sponsor free game sessions. If the gamer agrees to see a short video advertisement while the game is loading, the advertiser will insert WildCoins making the game free to the player. The WildCoins model allows customers to rent individual game titles, some of which can only be rented through the WildTangent catalog of nearly 1,000 games. Titles that are available for rent exclusively through the WildTangent console include ''Torchlight'', ''Defense Grid'', ''Raven Squad'', ''World of Goo'', ''Plants vs. Zombies'', and ''Bejeweled''. WildTangent also has a Weekly WildCoin Giveaway every Wednesday. Each link can be used once and gives a single WildCoin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WildTangent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
