Press ReleaseTrymedia Expands Digital Game Distribution with Addition of Key PublishersCodemasters, Encore, ValuSoft and Vivendi Universal Join More Than 100 publishers in Leading Global Distribution NetworkMay 5, 2005. San Francisco, CA. Trymedia Systems, secure digital distribution services provider and operator of the world's largest distribution network for downloadable games, announced today that it will offer titles from major game publishers Codemasters, Encore, a majority-owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation, ValuSoft, a division of THQ, and Vivendi Universal Games. These new additions join the 100 publishers currently offering more than 1,000 titles for download via Trymedia's global distribution network. Popular new titles such as "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay Developer's Cut," "Chris Moneymaker's World Poker Championship," "Hoyle® Casino 3D and Hoyle® Poker Series," "Second Sight" and "Tribes: Vengeance" are now widely available for download trial and purchase". "The growth of the Internet as a viable channel for game distribution is an exciting development for us," said Tomas Melian, Vice President, Integrated Marketing, Vivendi Universal Games. "Trymedia's leadership in digital distribution enables us to tap into new audiences and opportunities." Publishers and developers use Trymedia's ActiveMARK technology to maximize the value of their PC games and enhance their secure digital distribution. Today, more than 200 million legitimate games have been downloaded using ActiveMARK and International Data Corporation estimates that by 2008, U.S. downloadable game sales will reach $1 billion. "The addition to these leading publishers, combined with the recent signings of all 10 top casual game content creators, will provide consumers with an even more comprehensive selection of downloadable games," said Alex Torrubia, co-founder and CEO of Trymedia. "Gamers can now choose from a selection of more than a thousand casual and core titles at any of our worldwide portal partners." Each time consumers copy and share an ActiveMARK-enabled game, it automatically reverts to trial mode, allowing subsequent users to play the game for a limited amount of time before purchase. ActiveMARK also allows consumers to easily backup, play on multiple computers, and securely share their games.
