History
GameLink added streaming content delivery to its services in 1999 by delivering full movies as well as individual scenes. The company added scene-only download options in 2007,[4] mobile options in 2010,[5] and pay-per-minute streaming options in 2011.[6] GameLink utilizes a system of pre-purchased minutes to allow viewers to watch the content in which they are interested. GameLink has a partnership with webcam portal VideoSecrets to offer live video chat with webcam models.[7] In September 2013, GameLink added a news media section to its site, “Naked Truth”. The section includes product and film reviews, interviews, “best of” lists, and film trailers and previews.[8]
Affiliate program
