Live Gamer

Live Gamer is a marketplace solution for player-to-player trading of virtual assets.

Specifically, Live Gamer provides a fully publisher-supported virtual trading marketplace. Users are able to access Live Gamer from within the game itself, and can then conduct secure transactions. Traded goods become available in real time for uninterrupted game play.

Virtual trading makes it possible for massively multiplayer online game players and virtual world inhabitants to extend their experience by buying and selling in-game goods, currency, and even characters. Today, virtual trading represents an estimated $1.8 billion in real money. Live Gamers hopes to capitalize on that economy by providing a safe environment for that trading.

Live Gamer partners include Sony Online Entertainment, Funcom, GoPets, and Acclaim.
