Green Man Gaming

Green Man Gaming are at this year’s Global Developer Conference (GDC) in San Francisco from 18 – 23 March.  It’s the world’s largest professional game industry event. Our Buying, Partnership and Publishing teams are hosting meetings in two locations at the Moscone Centre: UK stand by UKIE at South Hall, Booth# 1023 and at the Intel stand in South Hall, Booth# 623.

We’ll be meeting with new and existing partners to discuss valuable feedback to help improve the store and its offering, provide the latest store marketing and partnership opportunities and to get more top quality games on the store.

At the Intel booth, we’ll be meeting with Intel partners to discuss how we can help them reach gamers worldwide and unveiling Before the Blood, a new urban brawler game, from our publishing arm and developers Enter Yes which will be launched mid-2018. The game will be part of Intel’s Indie Showcase.

Come and meet us if you’re at GDC 2018!

Green Man Gaming have announced today that they have partnered with Ubisoft to be able to offer automatic Uplay PC key redemption for games on the Uplay PC client.

This means that instead of copying Uplay PC keys over into the Uplay PC client to activate a game after purchase, a button press will automatically activate the game on your Uplay account.

Green Man Gaming mention that this will not only make redeeming Uplay PC keys for Ubisoft titles easier, but it will also add an extra layer of security for the game Uplay PC key, as it will not be revealed at any point in the redemption process.

Paul Sulyok, founder and CEO of Green Man Gaming, had this to say of the new feature: “We are constantly looking to improve the experience of buying games for our customers. We know that the priority for any gamer is to be able to get to the game as quickly as possible without having to spend their time dealing with copying and pasting Uplay PC key codes, launching multiple clients and logging in to a bunch of different services,”

He went on to add: “We are always looking for new methods that allow our customers to purchase and play their games as quickly as possibly. Green Man Gaming’s integration with the Uplay PC client simplifies the redemption process giving gamers a fast, reliable and secure way to activate their Ubisoft games direct from Green Man Gaming.”

We’re excited to announce that video game industry veteran, Ian McGregor, will be joining Green Man Gaming as our new Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) from 1 December 2017.

Ian has held senior leadership roles at top game publishing brands including EA and Activision, heading up International Marketing for best-selling titles and franchises including FIFA, Call of Duty and The Sims. His industry experience coupled with his passion for gaming and business, will play a key role in taking our brand the next level internationally.

As CMO, Ian will be responsible for building and transforming Green Man Gaming’s brand internationally as well as the company’s marketing and customer experience activities. He will be working with his team to innovate and drive rapid growth in new markets and deliver a strong value proposition to all Green Man Gaming stakeholders: customers, partners and the wider gaming community.

Ian was previously Head of International Consumer Marketing at both EA and Activision, where he worked on over 80 titles and led innovative marketing campaigns including FIFA Interactive World Cup. He also has agency-side experience working with high-profile technology and entertainment clients at Publicis London. Before joining Green Man Gaming, Ian worked with early stage start ups helping them drive fast growth and revenue.

Paul Sulyok, CEO and Founder of Green Man Gaming: “We are very excited to have Ian join the senior management team at a time when we are looking to take Green Man Gaming’s brand and marketing activities to the next level, as we continue expanding the business internationally. Ian’s extensive industry experience at top game publishers, innovative marketing mind-set and ability to bring different teams together to deliver impactful results is critical for us to achieve our aggressive targets to continue our fast growth.”

Ian McGregor: “I have closely followed Green Man Gaming’s remarkable journey over the years as it has grown to become a critical part of the gaming ecosystem. This is the perfect time for me to join the business, as it seeks to accelerate growth, build market share and deliver more products and services to its growing customer base.
