About Altumbase

Who publishes this site

Altumbase is published by GABLU Company s.r.o., a company registered in the Czech Republic. It is an independent informational website about free-to-play online war games, written for readers in Australia. The publisher's full details are:

These same details appear in the footer of every page, on the contact page, and in the privacy policy. There is no separate newsroom, no editorial masthead and no roster of named writers behind this site. Where authorship is attributed at all, it is to the Altumbase editorial team, which is to say the publisher named above. We do not invent people, titles or credentials to lend the pages an authority they would not otherwise have.

What we cover, and why

This site covers a single category: free-to-play online games built around military units — ships, tanks, aircraft and forces — played against other people over the internet. Within that category, the coverage is deliberately limited. We describe in detail the products the publisher has a commercial relationship with, and we explain the category around them in general terms so that the coverage is genuinely useful rather than a thin wrapper around a link. At present the specific title described firsthand is World of Warships, whose affiliate programme the publisher takes part in.

We want to be plain about what that means, because it is the honest description of the site's scope. Altumbase is not a comprehensive, independent review of every game in the category. It does not test titles it has no relationship with and rank them against each other. What it offers instead is a clear explanation of how these games work, a glossary of the vocabulary, a method for weighing them up, and a firsthand description of the title it is positioned to describe — all written so that the general material stands on its own even if you never follow a single link.

How we decide what to cover and in what order

Because the scope is narrow, it is important to say what drives it. The category-level pages — getting started, key terms, choosing a game, devices and playing safely — are chosen to answer the questions a reader new to the category would actually ask, in the order they tend to arise. Their content is driven by usefulness, not by any commercial arrangement. The product page for World of Warships exists because the publisher has an affiliate relationship with that programme, and that relationship is disclosed on every page it appears on.

What the commercial relationship does not do is decide the substance or the ordering of the general pages, or dress an advertisement up as an independent verdict. We do not award scores, publish testimonials, or claim to have found the "best" game, because none of those could be defended honestly given the scope. The affiliate disclosure page sets out the arrangement in full, including what the commission does and does not influence.

How we handle facts and claims

The site follows a few self-imposed rules. General claims about the category are either written as ordinary guidance or linked to a primary source you can check — most often an Australian regulator, quoted only for what it actually says. Product-specific facts about a game are kept general and pointed back to the vendor's own site as the authority, because those details change and we would rather send you to the current source than risk quoting a stale one. We do not publish invented statistics, benchmark numbers, awards or trust marks, and we do not use urgency, fear or simulated alerts of any kind. If we cannot stand behind a claim, it does not go on the page.

How this site is funded

Altumbase is funded through affiliate links. When you follow a labelled affiliate link to a game vendor and register, the publisher may be paid a commission by the vendor's programme. That payment comes from the vendor, never from you, and it does not change the price or terms you are offered. The site collects no personal information, runs no advertising and sets no cookies. The full detail is on the affiliate disclosure and privacy policy pages.
