Trait based, indie focused, minimal DRM distribution
service scheduled for soft launch 28 January 2013:
Austin, Texas, December 18, 2012 — Shiny
Loot, an Austin based digital distribution site offers a new
alternative to finding, researching, and purchasing games. In
addition to the typical genres and settings, games at Shiny Loot
list up to four unique traits from nearly a hundred options. These
traits, along with genres and settings, can be searched,
cross-referenced, and filtered to find exactly the type of game
desired.
To complement a customer centric approach built around filters
and traits, Shiny Loot provides a marketplace with minimal DRM.
Outside of simple key validation, no other DRM is set to accompany
titles found on Shiny Loot. Publishers with a strong commitment to
that mentality, many of which are independent developers, are the
core of Shiny Loot's launch base.
The company will undergo a closed registration beta test on
January 28, 2013. The site will be fully functional, including
purchase, but limited by access codes distributed through specific
partners.

games are targeted often must rely on pure chance to find them. The
trait system solves this problem by bridging these two together
with a powerful filter and search system.
