Not everyone knows how to download/purchase games from the app store his or her phone (or carrier) uses. What’s more, not everyone knows what kind of games there are to download. For those folks, Gameloft prepared prepaid cards in partnership with UK-based retailers Game and Gamestation. The so called Gameloft Game Cards are available for 4.95 GBP, offering 5 games that work on “over 2000 handsets.” Needless to say, these cards can also come with Android games.
I guess experimenting with distribution could prove beneficial for Gameloft (and other game publishers for that matter). This is especially true for people who want to buy some game(s) as a gift. Sending a promo code can’t compete with the good ol’ physical touch, even if it’s just a voucher that will eventually lead to digital download. Or at least that’s the way I see it. What do you think?
