GOG.com Partners With UOL BoaCompra To Bring Their Acclaimed Digital Distribution Portal To Brazil
Brazilian Customers to Enjoy Fully-Localized Video Game and Movie Digital Storefront Experience, with Support for Leading Local and Regional Payment Methods
SAO PAULO, Aug. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- UOL BoaCompra - Latin America's cross-border payments pioneer - is excited to announce today a strategic partnership to expand the acclaimed GOG.com digitial distribution platform to Brazil. GOG.com's Brazil portal will be operated by owners CD PROJEKT (best known for the acclaimed The Witcher video game series), in close partnership with UOL BoaCompra, whose payment gateway enables regional transactions in Brazilian Real.
Founded in 2008, GOG.com is a leading digital distribution portal focused on entertainment content free of DRM (Digital Rights Management). Currently offering a catalog of over 1,600 AAA, indie and immortal video game classics, games purchased on GOG.com can be installed on as many computers as the customer chooses, without the need for a CD-key or persistent Internet connection.
Through this partnership, Brazilian customers will be treated to the complete GOG.com experience, with full Portuguese language support and easy access to the company's entire catalog of games and movies. The highly popular (but optional) GOG Galaxy launcher will also be available in Portuguese, along with a new localized section of the GOG.com forum, where Brazilian gamers can discuss their favorite titles in their native language.
"We are delighted to deliver the authentic-yet-fully-localized GOG.com experience to eager fans in the very important emerging Brazilian market," said GOG.com spokesman Marcelo Suplicy. "Supporting a wide range of secure local payments is vital to any globally operating digital storefront, and we felt that UOL BoaCompra's track record and reputation made them the perfect partner for our GOG.com launch in Brazil."
"It's an honor to add GOG.com and CD PROJEKT to our list of distinguished global partners," stated UOL BoaCompra Managing Director Renato Bertozzo. "As the leading e-commerce company in Latin America we are delighted to make it possible for Brazilian customers to shop from the entire GOG.com content portfolio using their choice of nearly two dozen popular payment options, including: regional credit cards, bank transfers, billet and our own virtual video game currency, Go4gold credits."
