Digital River to Exhibit at gamescom


MINNEAPOLIS — Aug. 3, 2016Digital River, Inc., a leading global provider of Commerce-as-a-Service solutions, announced that it will exhibit at gamescom (www.gamescom-cologne.com), the largest global video games conference. The company’s exhibit stand (E024, Hall 4.1) will showcase its ecommerce solution for the games market (stg01dr.wpengine.com/games). Show attendees can visit Digital River’s stand to explore how some of the most successful games companies are successfully combining monetization and globalization strategies. gamescom will take place Aug. 17-21, 2016, in the Cologne Congress Center in Cologne, Germany.

“With rising consumer demand for connected content coupled with continual advances in devices, platforms and technology, game developers are under constant pressure to evolve their monetization strategies. The challenge, however, is that many lack the ecommerce infrastructure necessary to effectively monetize on a global basis and across several types of business models,” said Jeremy Coker, group vice president of games and entertainment for Digital River. “gamescom is the perfect venue for discussing how developers can build international, cross-platform monetization strategies that keep pace with changing player preferences, variations in techniques and emerging opportunities, such as virtual reality ecommerce.”

The theme for gamescom 2016 is “Heroes in New Dimensions.” The event will focus on the current trends in the video games industry, such as virtual reality, e-sports and “the player as the designer,” as well as explore the future of digital entertainment and the digitalization of society. In 2015, gamescom logged more than 345,000 visitors from 96 countries.
