"Having privately tested within a small community of gamers, it is now time for us to stress test our new technology on a wider scale," said Roger Walkden, CEO of GDI. "We have seen speeds that are up to 20 times faster than conventional download services, and we’re looking forward to sharing the benefits of our system with gamers, so they can share their experiences with us and give feedback. "Digital Distribution is heralded as the future of video games retailing, but this will only happen if the download experience is improved for the end user. AWOMO's 'one click from a browser' simplicity and super-fast speed provides a glimpse into a bright new future for gamers wanting instant gratification and publishers looking for new distribution options.
"With faster speeds come new revenue models for the games industry and we are looking forward to introducing these as part of the beta at a later date," he added.
To find out more, be sure and head on over to the AWOMO website to sign up for the free beta and enjoy some Rome: Total War. Future additions to the AWOMO library will allow a user to buy, rent, or subscribe to a game of their choosing."With faster speeds come new revenue models for the games industry and we are looking forward to introducing these as part of the beta at a later date," he added.
