Razer's new online game store offers discounts and rewards to buyers

[midian182]

Razer is once again expanding its product line. Best known for its gaming peripherals and laptops, the company unveiled its first smartphone last year, which gained many positive reviews. Now, Razer is moving into a new market by launching a digital PC games store.

While it might sound like a competitor, the Razer Game Store isn’t going up against industry leader Steam; it’s more like Humble Bundle. The titles it sells have to be redeemed either on Valve’s store or Ubisoft’s Uplay.

Razer is hoping to tempt PC gaming fans by offering rewards with every purchase they make, hence its “Get games, get rewarded” tagline. Buying a game gets you zSilver loyalty rewards credits, which can be redeemed for rewards such as Razer products, digital gift vouchers, and more. You can get Razer’s Atheris mouse, for example, for 91,500 zSilver. Plus, if you pay using Razer’s zGold virtual currency, you’ll earn even more zSilver.

The store has some compelling discounts on big titles. Several of these, such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance, made our Best PC Games (You Should Be Playing) feature. There’s also up to 75 percent off Ubisoft titles, including 10 percent off Far Cry 5.

Razer said there would be a rotating selection of four “Razer exclusives" discounted up to 60 percent each week, which will offer double zSilver rewards upon purchase, a Razer Game Store voucher of up to $15, and a $10 voucher on Razer peripherals purchased on the Razer Store. The company is also giving away 10,000 steam keys for Furi when you sign-up through its website as an opening-week gift, and there's a 15 percent off code available to all.

I was going to joke about Razer marking up games $10-$20 USD over their MSRP/Steam price. Then I scrolled down to the game store screenshot: Far Cry 5 --> $69.99

The memes, they write themselves these days.

Can you please just make decent peripherals and stop trying to tie them to more internet accounts than I need...

I am still under boycott against razer. One that sealed the deal is when I bought a $120 mouse (that had everything I wanted) and they REQUIRED me to give an email address and account information to simply change the mouse from the default rainbow colors. Are you f'in kidding me???! An online account just to change basic mouse settings?? The mouse was promptly returned. No more of my nor my friends/families money I build systems for.

After they end it like razer comms what can you do with your zMoney? Who is so stupid he thinks razer can become next humble bundle? Do they have enough fanboys? They have nothing to offer; no charity, no grey market prices nor exclusives.
