Background Info
In 2003, a group of gamers banded together in New York to form what would become the largest strategy game digital distribution company: Matrix Games. They both develop their own strategy titles and partner with other developers to distribute digital download versions of their games. Their website offers both the largest selection of strategy games available and social networking capabilities for gamers. Matrix Games focuses their operations on strategy games. This aspect the company designates them as the ideal source for military game enthusiasts. Their categories include real-time strategy, tower defense, and simulation. They have also expanded their focus on competitive sports games, although the numbers of these titles are limited. Instead, they try to focus on different aspect of strategy games, including modern military, historical warfare, and science fiction titles. One of the unique aspects of Matrix Games is the ability of independent developers to submit the strategy games that they have created for digital distribution on the site. This allows users to download games that cannot be found anywhere else. It also allows Matrix Games to offer a broad selection of titles, ensuring that visitors will always find a game that suits their preferences. To facilitate the gamers’ experience with their site, social networking capabilities are also available. An extensive forum allows users to create blog posts and discuss different aspects of the website. A Teamspeak server is also available to allow gamers to communicate by voice. This allows gamers to coordinate their efforts while playing together online and discuss the various titles available from the site. A chat room is also available and will typically include developers and support staff as part of the conversation. Matrix Games has received mixed reviews from customers. Many users, especially those infatuated with the military, love the low prices and unique titles offered on the site. Additionally, the social networking capabilities are often praised for their openness and ease of use. However, others have cited the company for being too retro, claiming that many of the titles and even the site itself seems to cater to those still stuck in the 90s and early 2000s. Others have cited frequent in-game glitches, with some rendering continued progress in the game impossible.
