AWOMO is a Germany-based internet game distribution and delivery system, first developed by Game Domain International Plc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.awomo.com/page/about_gdi )〕 and completed by GDC Game and Download Company AG, Düsseldorf, Germany. AWOMO claims to deliver online game content in drastically shorter times than rival download services by allowing users to play games before they are fully downloaded. AWOMO also optimizes which parts are downloaded first based on usage statistics from other users.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.awomo.com/page/what_is_awomo )〕 It is likely to be a viable rival to Steam, a similar pay-to-play game site, which originally envisioned a similar streaming-style content delivery mechanism, but abandoned it in favour of permanent local storage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://steamreview.org/posts/awomo-rto/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.valvetime.net/threads/steam-explained.6373/#post-132937 )〕 ==History of AWOMO== On 29 December 2010, AWOMO was completely redesigned as GDC Game and Download Company AG, Germany became the new operator. Nils Herrnberger, the chief executive officer of GDC AG, was quoted saying: "It will accelerate time-to-play massively, giving gamers a whole new experience." Nils also stated that they would aim to offer five new games every month.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/pressreleases/67509/AWOMOCOM_New_PC_Download_Portal_entering_beta_stage.php )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.awomo.com/page/imprint )〕 On 29 January 2011, the German version of AWOMO was started.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.awomo.com/home?language=DE )〕 On 7 March 2011, GDC Game and Download Company AG made a convincing debut at Game Connection in San Francisco.
