Live Gamer to Power Transaction-based Game Play in Interzone Game Titles
Live Gamer, the leading provider of the publisher-supported, secure marketplaces for real money trading of virtual items, today announced a partnership with Interzone Games, to serve as the exclusive platform provider for secondary market real money trading (RMT) for Interzone’s upcoming massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) title.
The Live Gamer Exchange™ will power all of the secondary market RMT within Interzone’s upcoming game releases to enable players to securely buy and sell virtual items within the context of the game.
“We’re proud to work with Interzone, a publisher that is approaching the MMO space with a fresh perspective, and we’re glad to be a part of their upcoming titles,” said Andrew Schneider, president of Live Gamer. “A secure platform for buying and selling virtual items in-game delivers enormous benefits to both gamers and publishers.”
“Live Gamer understands the needs of the gaming community, and will work with us as a trusted partner to deliver an unparalleled experience for our customers. There is large demand from players to legitimately take part in a secondary RMT marketplace. Trading of virtual assets in our game will bring another dimension of fun, value, and game play to our users,” said Mike Turner, VP of Business Development, Interzone Games.
Interzone is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and has a global footprint with studio locations in Australia, Asia and South America.
Live Gamer Exchange will be available in Interzone Game’s title in early 2009.
