Immutable vs Keymailer

Immutable ties every creator link to the players it produced: who signed up, who completed quests, who bought, and how to reach each of them again before your Steam launch.

Why studios choose Immutable

Know which creators produce paying players

Amplify gives each creator a tracked referral link and follows every referred player through signup, quest completion and purchase. Studios rank creators by the players they sent.[4]

Keep every creator-sourced player reachable

2.2x higher wishlist-to-purchase conversion for 1047 Games' Empulse: owned fans converted at 14.0% against 6.4% for wishlists with no owned contact.[5]

Amplify attributes each creator's referral traffic to an owned player profile, the same audience Immutable's email flows convert at launch.[4],[6]

Pay creators for real players

Every referred player is scored on engagement, spend and predicted lifetime value, and bot detection removes artificial signups before a studio pays.[4] Amplify supports four creator compensation models:[4]

  1. Flat fee
  2. CPA
  3. Revenue share
  4. Hybrid

300K+ Steam wishlists in under two months for Empulse, built on an owned audience from reveal to Early Access.[5]

What makes Immutable different

Player-level creator measurement

Each creator gets a unique referral URL. Amplify scores every referred player on engagement, tier progression, secondary referrals and predicted lifetime value, separating paying players from empty signups.[4]

The tracking covers streamers on Twitch, YouTube Live and Kick, video creators on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, and community influencers on Discord, Reddit and Twitter.[4]

One audience from first click to launch day

Creator-referred players land in owned player profiles, the audience used for attribution and lifecycle email. A player sent months before launch stays reachable ahead of Steam's launch-day email.[4],[6]

Immutable's email flows run from signup to purchase. With them, Empulse's owned fans converted from wishlist to Early Access purchase at 14.0%, against 6.4% for other wishlists.[5],[6]

Compensation tied to verified players

Amplify pays creators on actual signups and conversions: a flat fee for established creators, CPA per signup, a revenue share of player spend, or base fee plus bonus.[4]

Because bot detection filters artificial signups first, a CPA or revenue-share payout is calculated on real players, and the payment model and the measurement come from the same system.[4]
