Razer Launches Its Digital Game Store

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced a new digital distribution platform for PC games - the Razer Game Store - which goes live globally today. The Razer Game Store offers instant access to thousands of digital games and rewards customers with every purchase. Games are delivered in the form of Steam or Uplay product keys. With Razer's global leadership in gaming peripherals, laptops and software, the Razer Game Store is the next step in its expanding ecosystem for gamers.

Get Games, Get Rewarded
When gamers buy games from the Razer Game Store, they get access to exclusive offers, Razer Game Store vouchers, discounted Razer peripherals on the RazerStore or other perks. In addition, gamers will also earn zSilver loyalty rewards credits with each purchase on the Razer Game Store, including credit card transactions. Paying instead with zGold grants even larger zSilver rewards. With its unique rewards system , buying a game from the Razer Game Store grants more value than in any other digital store as gamers are then able to redeem their rewards for other Razer products and more each time they checkout.
"As gamers, we know the importance of a good deal and the Razer Game Store delivers that to everyone," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "We have been delighting gamers with our high-performing peripherals, laptops and software, and we're now also able to provide the content itself that fuels their passion."

Availability
At launch, the Razer Game Store will go live in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France with localized content, prices, payment methods, and customer support. The remaining countries of Europe are supported with an English version of the store with prices in Euro currency.

Folks complained about the Razer Pay to Play program - you could earn zSilver for simply playing games and then if you build up enough you could get free stuff. Apparently free stuff isn't good enough for people.....so they took that away. Razer has made mention they're looking to incorporate zSilver into other things....I guess this is one of them.

People can now earn zSilver (which you could easily earn from just playing games) from pretty much only by spending money (granted you could spend real cash on zGold and you're gifted zSilver, but spending money is now about the only way to get zSilver now).

If they can offer something like GoG and no DRM is tied to the games, it may be something good.....but, with there already being so many platforms you can buy keys from for digital games Razer may just blend into the background and be one of those spots people go to every now and then because of pricing.

I want to avoid this brand so hard, that I mentally block anything that has Razer in it. Didn't notice this article until now. Seems I need more protection from overpriced commercial junk overloaded with unnecessary logins and bad build quality, my shield isn't perfect yet.

A game store... just why
