"70 percent of our sales for DLC is non credit card. So that's a patron possibly profitable with cash, GameStop present card or traffic credit," Steve Nix, executive of Personal Computer digital placement for GameStop told us at DICE 2012 . "Think about all those Call of Duty Elite subscriptions and all those customers who aren't using a credit card to buy them."
"We're obviously flourishing [the downloadable content] market, since about half our DLC customers never purchased DLC previously. So, for diversion developers that wish to sell more DLC, we're introducing gamers to DLC is to initial time in our stores."
Nix established that it might appear unusual the sell chain's section and trebuchet stores are so successful selling digital content. It's evidently servicing customers who do not have credit cards or do not wish to use credit cards, but still wish to expand their preferred games. He "absolutely" feels this same incident is what's pulling their in-store Personal Computer full diversion sales, notwithstanding Personal Computer gamers having so many online purchasing options.
Since Gamestop purchased Stardock's Impulse digital placement store , you longed for to know if it would go on to search for Goo, that would have basically combined a " used Personal Computer games marketplace ."
Nixing the idea, he mentioned "We do not see a lot of fascination in that model from our edition partners." He recognizes customers would be interested, but is not unequivocally saying publishing house encouragement for such a model.
