About Concept Base
Concept Base is an informational site about free-to-play PC games, written for readers in Australia and published by a Czech company that earns money from advertising links on the site. This page states who publishes it, how the content is decided, and where the commercial arrangement sits in relation to what is written.
The publisher
Concept Base is published by:
City services s.r.o.
Děčínská 552/1, Střížkov, 180 00 Praha 8, Czech Republic
Company number: 22538739
VAT: CZ22538739
Email: info@conceptbase.online
The company is registered in the Czech Republic and operates this website. The site is written for an Australian readership, which is why it uses Australian English, refers to Australian regulators and describes rights under Australian law; it does not mean the publisher is an Australian entity, and it should not be read that way.
What the site is
A seven-step reference path covering the practical questions that arise before someone signs up for a free-to-play PC game: how these games earn, how to check whether a machine will run one, how to set an account up sensibly, how the vehicle-construction subgenre works, what is actually known about the one title covered here, how Australian classification applies, and which body to contact when something goes wrong.
It is not a news site, a review site or a fan community. There are no scores, no rankings, no reader submissions and no comment section. The writing is signed, where it is signed at all, as the City services s.r.o. editorial team, because it is produced by the company rather than by a named individual, and inventing a personality to front it would be a small lie that undermines everything else.
How coverage is decided
The honest description is a narrow one. Concept Base covers a single title, Crossout, and it covers that title because there is a commercial relationship attached to it: an advertising network pays a commission when a reader who followed a link from this site creates an account and confirms the email address. There is no editorial selection process behind that choice, and presenting one would be false.
What that means for the reader is set out on step five, which is built around the distinction between what the advertising material states and what it does not. The commercial relationship determines which product appears. It does not determine what is said about it, and the practical test of that claim is on the page itself: most of the product page is a list of things the source material does not tell you, which is not what a page written to maximise sign-ups looks like.
The remaining six steps are not about any specific game. They would be the same if the commercial arrangement ended tomorrow, which is the reason they make up most of the site.
Editorial method
- Product-specific statements come only from the description supplied by the advertising network. Nothing is inferred from gameplay footage, community discussion or other websites, and the game is not tested by this site.
- General statements about the category — how monetisation models work, what a power score does, how localised damage changes a build — are written as general description of how these games are commonly designed, not as claims about any one title.
- Statements about Australian law, regulators and services are written to point at the body that holds the answer, with a link, rather than to paraphrase a rule in a way the reader would have to trust us for.
- Gaps are stated. Where a fact is unavailable from an acceptable source, the page says it is not stated and names where to look.
- Nothing is fabricated. No invented testing, no invented statistics, no user quotes, no ratings, no awards, no expert personas.
Review and corrections
Pages carry a review date in the footer, changed when the content is actually re-read against its sources rather than on a schedule. A page whose date moves without its content moving is telling the reader something untrue, and the date is worth less than nothing if it is maintained that way.
Corrections are the fastest route to improving the site. If a statement here contradicts the vendor's own material, misdescribes what an Australian body does, or is simply wrong, write to info@conceptbase.online with the page address and what is incorrect. Substantive corrections are made to the page.
What this site does not do
- It does not collect personal information. There is no form, no newsletter, no account and no tracking of any kind — see the privacy policy and the cookie policy.
- It does not host game downloads, installers, patches, keys or currency, and it never will.
- It does not provide account support, recovery, refunds or moderation appeals. Those sit with the publisher of the game.
- It does not give legal, financial or security advice. It points to the Australian bodies that do.
- It does not claim any affiliation with, endorsement by or sponsorship from any game publisher.
How it is built
The site is static HTML, CSS and a small amount of first-party JavaScript that does one thing: open and close the navigation menu on narrow screens. There are no third-party scripts, no advertising tags, no analytics and no web fonts, so the site makes no external requests when a page is loaded and sets no cookies. That is a deliberate position rather than an oversight, and it is why there is no consent banner: there is nothing to consent to.
