Green Man Gaming has announced a brand-new partnership with Intel that will see the company’s award-winning patented technology power Intel’s newly-launched, self-service b2b marketplace, theIntel Software Distribution Hub (SDH).
The Intel SDH will allow hundreds of Intel’s channel partners to be matched with PC game publishers, allowing them to create custom value-added incentives to make their products stand out and generate more sales. It will also give game publishers a new revenue stream opportunity in their bid to boost sales worldwide.
By obtaining access to Intel’s SDH, publishers will be able to sell individual and bundled games at multiple price points to PC enthusiast channels and retail resellers, ensuring their games go straight to a reseller’s customers and improving the security of game key distribution in one fell swoop.
Intel’s channel and retail partners, meanwhile, will be able to gain access to publisher-agreed discounted prices on popular PC games as well as pre-purchase codes before release. They’ll also be able to earn GMG credit, which will be redeemable on any product in the store.
The Intel Software Distribution Hub offers our Intel Technology Provider Gold and Platinum Partners the unique opportunity to differentiate themselves by providing a wide range of popular game titles, in addition to delivering the excellent performance and exceptional experiences our gaming customers demand,” said Ricardo Moreno, vice president of sales and marketing group and general manager of partner sales programs organisation at Intel Corporation.
Paul Sulyok, CEO and founder of Green Man Gaming, added: Green Man Gaming and Intel support and enhance the overall experience for gamers, from both a community and industry perspective.”
