Mar 23, 2009 -- Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), a leading provider
of global e-commerce solutions, has signed a joint marketing agreement
with PLAYXPERT, a provider of next-generation, in-game community
management tools for PC gamers. By working with PLAYXPERT, Digital
River will offer game publishers, resellers and studios a way to engage
players of PC-based games in a branded in-game experience that
integrates e-commerce with their online communities.
"With the retail market consolidating, and digital delivery and gaming
communities growing in popularity, the game industry continues to
undergo change," said Joel Ronning, Digital River's CEO. "Publishers,
resellers and studios are looking for new ways to build ongoing revenue
streams. Joining forces with PLAYXPERT is a first step in a broader
strategy to help companies involved with PC games to build not only
these critical new revenue sources, but also more engaged and
sustainable relationships with players of their games."
Using PLAYXPERT'S True Overlay(TM) technology publishers, resellers and
studios can configure, brand and deploy a full-featured, in-game
toolset that appears as a translucent window inside a PC-based game.
Through this toolset and a widget gallery, players can access the

other community- and content-based activities - all without leaving the
game experience.
By delivering this solution in combination with its global e-commerce
platform, Digital River is giving players the added ability to make
purchases while in-game. The purchases will be backed by the
functionality, security and global reliability of Digital River's
proven in-store e-commerce platform. For publishers, the integration
opens up a new channel for monetizing their games, selling into global
markets and building ongoing customer relationships.
"Community is one of the strongest mechanisms used in gaming to promote
adoption and commerce. Early efforts to combine community with commerce
have proven successful and opened the door for further innovation,"
said Charles Manning, president and CEO of PLAYXPERT. "We are thrilled
to be selected by Digital River as a partner in optimizing the in-game
purchase experience and delivering a new best-of-breed solution for
players and publishers alike."
