A Game calls for open distribution

A Game Distribution is a big supporter of the open distribution model, which allows multiple firms to distribute the same product.

Operations director Adam Harris says this drives competition and provides a wider and better choice for consumers.

Open distribution naturally develops competition, which in its own right sparks innovation and increases service offerings to customers – all of which we feel are positives for the industry,” he says.

The model works and is tried and tested across much of Europe as well as North America and Asia.

On the other hand, the benefits of exclusive distribution come with supported marketing and offers, but this is currently looking very unattractive compared to the low ticket prices being waved by supermarkets in the UK.”

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
