Just been saying we need another store front for PC games as there just are not enough these days...

Guess its going to be overpriced like all other Razer products.

Appears to be a "White label" Metaboli/Gamesplanet site.

Just another key seller albeit not grey market.

Steam is safe everyone, move along, nothing to see here.

Presumably this will allow them to give away game keys for less with their overpriced tat quality range of peripherals.

I feel like they're gambling on the Razer Exclusives scheme to make this a worthwhile endeavour ("Every week, we pick four games we think you’d like and throw in perks to sweeten the deal. This week, purchase any of the four Razer Exclusives to get: £10 Razer Game Store discount voucher, x2 zSilver earned per purchase, £10 Razerstore hardware voucher"). Looking at the prices of games on there nothing seems especially good compared to alternatives (although saying that Wolfenstein The New Colossus at £16 seems well priced), so unless you're really keen on the hardware, or the prices/bundles become really good, I can't see anyone else being too concerned.

do they add more RGB to games

some nice RGB flashy weapon skins would be nice

£13 for Wolfenstein 2, hopefully you can stack the £10 voucher with the 15% off discount code. Means ill get Far Cry 5 for about £30 which is cheaper than anywhere else.

Competition is good, if they do good deals why wouldn't you use them? Don't see the issue, not like there is another bit of software to worry about.

A quick perusal - GTA V £39.99 ''Best Seller' haha - £16 everywhere else on the net....

A lot of overpriced games which can be had substantially cheaper at other established digital shops.

This is becoming ridiculous now, now with Steam, Origin, Ubisoft, GoG, Twitch and many others its just pointless. as others have said it will force people to use it with "free game bundles" which are tied to their platform, and then incompatible with other platforms. Its a shame to see gaming going this way.

I love steam but how would them having a monopoly on PC gaming be good for consumers?

 

[neoboy]

Don't really care who I buy it from as long as they are keys I can just add to Steam.

The number of available sources has increased over the years but the prices haven't decreseased, infact most have increased considerably, even for a base game ignoring the DLC models. Having a single platform is much simpler to manage and gives easier integration, plus most of the others are appalling.
