Editorial Staff

New York, USA (May 2, 2006) – Fast-growing publisher Paradox Interactive announced today a new initiative to meet the demands for online distribution and to further open up the market for strategy gamers. 

Gamersgate.net is an online portal seeking to facilitate the download of PC games, with a primary focus on strategy titles. The portal will complement the company’s growing publishing business, and several leading publishers and developers have signed up to make their titles immediately available to the strategy gaming community. 

“There are many quality strategy games out there that never even make it to retail shelves,” said Theodore Bergqvist, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “This is a way to keep the strategy gaming community diverse and global. Additionally, Gamersgate.net will be run as a separate division and our long-term goal is to run the portal as a separate entity”.
