Get Games adding 150 games

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 26 Jan 2010 1:57 User comments (6)

Get Games adding 150 games Get Games, the digital download site launched in November has announced that it has added 19 games this week, with 150 more expected in the upcoming weeks.
The site launched with little content outside of Serious Sam HD but now seems to be making some headway.

Popular titles Machinarium, Trine and EuFloria are available for £29.95 each and other titles are available for cheaper.

"Our goal is to work with people professionally and to run a nimble and efficient business which should result in a service that makes sense for the content owner as well as the retailer, a relationship which too often seems to be out of step in traditional retail and digital distribution at the moment,"
says founder Rupert Loman.

whats the restriction of use or do we get these games drm free with no licence restrictions telling us that we can not give these games away to our friends even.

so does the HD sales line advertising add the wow factor. are ppl really that stupid.

& tbh why would anyone want to give Eurogamer any money, purchase your games on disc from a local independent ppl, dont bother with these corporate puppets.

because us lazy gamers can be bothered for the post man to get our gaems/ go to the highstreet. the conveniance od digital downlaod (speciifcally steam) is too great. esp with the whole cloud gaming, where yuor game saves and settings are saved no matter what PC you are on, and unlimted installs is nice aswell.

Um, no?

I like my saved games on MY hard drive. Right where I can get at them any time I want. Not trusting any lame online service to save my games for me.

when the DRM servers get switched off & you are unable to play content you thought you'd purchased you'll understand.
