Digital Distribution Bidding Wars in Gaming







Valve, Electronic Arts and Gamestop. Just three of the big companies fighting over the digital distribution of games.Games will get cheaper from this bidding war. Once EA Origin settles we will have daily deals and more sales on games.Electronic Arts is offering much better deals digitally than in a regular store. On top of that, you can even play the Battlefield 3 Beta for free by downloading Origin. Not even the biggest companies can avoid competition. Desura offers huge support for developers themselves. They have a huge amount of tools for mod developers and funding for designers. A large number of other publishers are offering deals that are less stellar. Poor selections of games and poor effort categorize these competitors. Most competitors are not like this, but it is a problem when people try to grab market space. As of now, things are still in the process, but we will keep you updated!
