Trion Worlds is announcing its Glyph digital games platform today as part of an effort to reinvent itself and help other developers get their PC games discovered.

Trion will use Glyph to give third-party game developers exposure to Trion’s 10 million registered users, who have played hardcore online games such as its massively multiplayer onlines games, Rift (a role-playing game) and Defiance (a shooter). The company has discovered that having an audience of lucrative hardcore gamers is a valuable asset at a time when there many millions of players who won’t pay a dime for a game or any other app, and it is pivoting to share that audience with other developers in a way that addresses one of the biggest problems of the digital distribution era: discovering the app that is right for you.
