Lithtech Gets Real

Lithtech signed a multi-game development deal with Real Networks to create original content for exclusive distribution through the new Real.com Games division. Real hopes that it can leverage it more than 95 million registered user to buy games for download online rather than purchasing packaged CD titles. "Recent surveys show that over 60% of Real.com Network users download free games on the Internet, yet most still buy CD-based games at retail outlets,'' said Real's Mark Hall, "Real.com Games is uniquely positioned to change the way consumers acquire high-quality games with an online, digital distribution model.''
