GamesIndustry.biz can reveal that GDI is preparing for the beta launch of A World of My Own, a new games on demand service that proposes to beat the competition by offering content within minutes rather than hours.
AWOMO lets players explore a 3D virtual world where players and games are grouped into regions so consumers can socialise with like-minded users. The world is created using Simutronics HeroEngine, the same technology signed by BioWare for an as-yet untitled MMORPG. Earlier this year, Virgin chairman Richard Branson predicted that the service will do for PC games "what iTunes has done for music".
