Digital River, provider of global e-commerce solutions, has announced signing an e-commerce deal with Aspyr Media regarding the launch of an online store to support the sale and digital delivery of select Macintosh and PC Aspyr titles in North America. The service will be dubbed "Game Agent", just like Aspyr's free utility that allows Mac users to match their computers' hardware with the system requirements of PC titles.

Digital River will build, host and manage the online store launching this summer, while Aspyr will keep rolling out its popular titles without fail, an official report confirms.

"Gaming publishers continue to choose Digital River as an e-commerce partner because of the depth and breadth of our world-class e-commerce system and our deep domain expertise", said Joel Ronning, Digital River's CEO. "We are pleased to be working with Aspyr, a company that industry reporting experts have ranked among the top 15 largest game publishers in the United States. With our experience, we intend to deliver a solution for Aspyr that will make a measurable difference for the company and its customers."

"Digital distribution of computer games is a proven business model and an option that more and more gamers are seeking", said Ted Staloch, executive vice president of publishing for Aspyr. "Aspyr has long been the dominant player in the Macintosh gaming space and we want to build on that leadership and create the best possible online solution for our customers. Digital River will deliver a secure and robust online store that will give gamers a satisfying experience when downloading great titles from Aspyr and its partners."
