Yep thats right Razer has one of those key stores online. I thought Id start a thread for it here and their sales if anyone catches them.

RAZER game store launches
.
from Blues:
A new Razer Game Store is online, offering a digital shop for video games from the hardware manufacturer. They kick things off with discount vouchers and bonus rewards from their new loyalty program. They promise this is all too legit to quit: "Razer works with its many publisher and developer partners to make sure that all games sold on the Razer Game Store are fully licensed and legitimate." Apparently an admitted error by their CEO (thanks PCGamesN) handed out an extra half-off coupon code, which, mirroring a previous incident, they cheerfully honored.
Personally, I'm not expecting much from "the Razer Game Store" ... just a heads-up

I dont see how a hardware manufacturer can compete as there are already a bunch of other sites that do the same thing.
It's a brand promotion tool. As long as they don't lose money, they can make the discounts contingent on owning a Razer peripheral or something. or get some exclusive skins or cheap stuff like that.
EDIT: Turns out Razer store is operated by Nexway, who runs Gamespalnet in Europe and Gametap in the US. Gametap died back in 2010. This is their way to get back into the US, I guess?
I do not know who or what Nexway and Gamesplanet is.

Gamesplanet is an Europe only game store. You can buy keys from there if they're cheap enough, same keys as anywhere else unless there's restrictions.
Gamesplanet.co.uk was their UK store. I remember buying a game or two from them that are no longer available in the states.
Nexway handles online subscriptions for vendors. Avast used to use Nexway for recurring billing subscriptions. I think there's a couple educational video vendors that also use Nexway.

Thank you. The first game was ok but I really hated it just being inside.

Guess not. Was thinking of a team shooter set in an office building. Had the red cones of sight and sound and such too.

That would be The Banner Saga 3. I was confused as to why they were having a 1% off sale on an old game!

Mine cryptocurrency for Razer credits!
SoftMiner is a mining software that generates some sort of cryptocurrency. But according to Razer’s announcement, users running the software don’t actually receive any of it. They instead get “Razer Silver,” a form of company scrip that can be redeemed towards purchases on the Razer store.
2018 is weird.

i said in another thread that i had given up and installed all the various online game storefronts. that wasn't exactly true, as i don't want anything at all to do with Razer anything, ever again.
