BoneTown Launches Affiliate Program
Referrers earn 50% on every sale of the adult action adventure game
Albuquerque, NM – D-Dub Software, the creator of BoneTown, the world’s first true action adventure adult video game, is pleased to announce the launch of the BoneTown Affiliate Program, which offers a straight 50 percent commission on all immediate and future purchases made by customers referred through an affiliate’s webpage.
Debuting late last year to excellent reviews and instant sales, BoneTown has added a bold and creative voice to the video game genre. In fact, there isn’t anything like it in video gaming today. With the pending release of its first expansion pack, which will include live action movies courtesy of SugarDVD,BoneTown provides webmasters a wholly new and engaging product for their customers and a brand new revenue stream for themselves.
“I like BoneTown so much I agreed to become a character in it,” said the legendary adult performer Ron Jeremy. “It’s funny and clever and a real game, which means I’m useless playing it, but gamers love it! And they can keep adding stories and content, which means I can come back again and again. They’re going to sell millions of them!”
BoneTown affiliates have access to regularly updated promotional tools that fit the needs of their industry, including linking codes with specialized D-Dub banners, videos, audio and game art.
“BoneTown appeals to a wide variety of markets outside of porn and video games,” D-Dub Business Development Manager Maximus M. Baptist VIII said. “Our promo tools make it much easier to target markets such as satirical humor, marijuana, alcohol, race, gambling, religion, politics and freedom of speech, and really any type of male adult entertainment. And we’ll continue to add unique promotions and updates to our affiliate program, so that it, like the game, is always growing and becoming more appealing to affiliates and their markets.”
BoneTown affiliate sales are processed by NetBilling and Paypal, and tracked by Product Cart, where affiliates will have access to their sales in real time in personalized accounts, and receive an email with a commission amount every time a sale is made utilizing their affiliate ID. The BoneTown Affiliate Program offers payouts on a monthly basis or when an affiliate reaches a certain dollar amount or number of copies sold. For payments, the BoneTown Affiliate Program offers wire, check, and coming soon, a RevUpCard.

About D-Dub Software:
Founded in 2004 in Albuquerque, NM, D-Dub Software is not your average video game company. When they started the business, Hod, JB, and Max were recent college graduates and knew that they didn’t want to be a part of the corporate culture. They have embraced the independent business spirit and developed BoneTown by their own rules.

Cable Operator Multi-Screen Strategies Likely to Hit Pay Dirt
New Research from TDG Validates Cable and Satellite Strategies
to Offer Integrated Two- and Three-Screen Video Services
Dallas, TX (March 4, 2009) – Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, DirecTV, and other Pay TV operators are in the process of building integrated multi-screen TV offerings; pushing their TV content beyond the TV to the PC and ultimately mobile devices. According to new research from The Diffusion Group (TDG), such offerings are likely to experience significant market demand.
Among the preliminary efforts announced in the last few weeks, TDG points to Time Warner's TV Everywhere scheme as the most aggressive. Time Warner’s CEO, Jeff Bewkes, has characterized TV Everywhere as an expansive initiative aimed at making cable programming available with a subscription model specific to each of the three screens – TV, PC, and mobile. According to TDG’s president, Michael Greeson, such an offering represents “the trifecta of video services.”
According to Greeson, Time Warner’s TV Everywhere initiative is the first legitimate instance of what he calls a quantum video service, one which in theory delivers on the “any content, any screen, any location, at anytime” promise on which place-, time-, and device-shifting notions are based.
“What separates these new models is the fact that once disparate video services that served disparate video screens will be integrated into a single service. In other words, a single branded offering that dishes up your favorite TV content to any of your video-enabled devices, all with one bill and one point of customer contact. Incumbents such as Comcast and Time Warner Cable are among the few companies that have the assets and acumen to deliver such a service.”
According to TDG’s latest research, the appeal of a two-screen TV/PC service would be significant:
16% of Pay TV subscribers who spend more than $100/month for TV service would spend an additional $20/month to have their TV programming delivered to their PCs. Even among lower ARPU customers (those spending less than $50/month for Pay TV service), 9% of consumers would spend an additional $20/month to access their TV programming on their PCs.
At lower pricing levels, demand for a two-screen TV/PC service is even more significant. More than one-fourth of those who spend more than $100/month for TV service would pay an additional $2.50/month to receive their TV programming on their PCs, as would 14% of those who currently spend $50/month or less on their Pay TV service.
TDG is a pioneer in terms of quantifying the market appeal of alternative video distribution models. In the last five months, TDG has fielded three large-scale consumer research studies focused exclusively on multi-screen and over-the-top video services. For more information about this research, please contact Andy Tarczon at 469.287.8060 or at@asktdg.com.

Musical performances will take place at the Mercury Lounge (217 E. Houston St between Ave. A & Essex) with films being screened at Cinema Village (22 E. 12th St between University Pl. & 5th Ave.). After parties featuring Tullamore Dew’s Tully Tea will be held each night at Bar 13 (35 E. 13th St. between University Pl. & Broadway). More information on the schedule of events can be found at www.thecraicfest.com.
In making the announcement, Paul Caffrey, Brand Manager for Tullamore Dew said: “Tullamore Dew is delighted to help make the CRAIC Festival possible this year. As the only major Irish whiskey still owned by an Irish company, we are thrilled to partner with a festival that brings Ireland’s unique artistic visions to New York, particularly over St. Paddy’s Day weekend. This is a perfect opportunity to ‘give every man his Dew.’”
“The CRAIC Festival and Tullamore Dew are both premium brands, deeply rooted in Irish culture and tradition that attract a fun and diverse international audience,” adds Festival founder, Terence Mulligan. “From Van Morrison to Jim Sheridan, the Irish have traditionally guided the arts in progressive directions, and this year’s CRAIC Festival line-up continues to build on that tradition.”
Founded in 1998 as a nonprofit organization, the Film Fleadh Foundation (FFF) designed and produces the CRAIC Festival, annually presenting Irish cinematic and musical culture to the city of New York and the tri-state region. The CRAIC Festival has established International collaborations with such prestigious organizations as the Irish Film Board, Irish Arts Council, and the Cultural Relations Committee, as well as Irish celebrities such as Liam Neeson, Aidan Quinn, Denis Leary, and filmmaker Jim Sheridan who serve as Honorary Board Members for the foundation as well as the festival.
The ‘Craic’ Epidemic
What exactly is “the craic?” Pronounced like “crack”, the term, “craic” is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as an Irish term for “fun, abandonment, or lighthearted mischief; often in the context of drinking or music,” however its historical definition and spelling vary. The oldest related, most widespread, sense of craic/crack is "joke,” as in to crack a joke or wise-crack. Another sense of craic, found in Scottish English, is "news, gossip,” as in the common Irish expression "What's the craic?" meaning "how is it going?” or “what’s happening?”
As the last of the top three global Irish whiskey brands still owned and managed by an Irish company, Tullamore Dew actively supports Irish culture around the globe, including the CRAIC Festival, which takes place in New York City, home to the most Irish Americans in the US and the largest St. Paddy’s Day Parade in the world. In honor of the holiday and the festival, Tullamore Dew is releasing a new cocktail, Tully Tea, which will be featured at each evening’s after party.
