Hi Antoine,
This has been on the back burner for a while. When drafting specs for our in-house affiliate software back in 2006, this was one of the features I wanted to have right from the start. Unfortunately due to limited development resources available at the time (as is often the case), we had to prioritize and drop a few of the cool stuff we wanted to offer at launch – this and our sub-affiliate system included.
We are using V*Points as prizes for our various affiliate competitions and gifts right now, but the process is quite manual and I’d like this fully automated as originally intended.
Virgin Games is going through a major operational transformation right now (more on this later, but that’s all good news 
) so we can’t roll out some of the affiliate features as quickly as we wish, but that will be made available in 2009.
Cheers,
