Remember that free-to-play dogfighting game on the PlayStation Store that you happened to see when you just bought your PlayStation 4 because there weren’t any games out on the console? No? Just me? Anyway, War Thunder, a cross-platform game for PC and PlayStation 4, introduced a very interesting update back in August 2014. Gaijin Entertainment added the Revenue Share Partner program to support user created content created using the War Thunder CDK.
War Thunder update 1.59, named the ‘Flaming Arrows’ update, introduced several community models. This includes Daniil “Joy_Division” Zaitsev’s original 3D model of the German night interceptor He-219, as well as four anti-tank missile vehicles, consisting of the Soviet IT-1, the German Raketenjagdpanzer-2, the Vietnam-era US M551 Sheridan, and the Swedish Strv 81.
Gaijin Entertainment have confirmed that Zaitsev is earned a whopping $5122, and it hasn’t even been one full month. You can read the developer’s blog to understand how the He-219 came to life, as well as how you can learn how to include your own model into War Thunder.
Here’s what Gaijin Entertainment had to say about other models potentially being added to the game: ” So, what are you waiting for? Get into 3D Modelling or a similar skill and earn real money with your favorite game, just like Daniil does! Surely there are many creative talents in our Community out there - don’t be shy, show us what you can do!”
