Active Gaming Media Inc. (AGM) is a localization company based in Osaka, Japan. Founded in 2008 by CEO Ibai Ameztoy, the company's main focus lies in providing localization services for video games.[1][2] AGM has since branched out to provide services such as game debugging, marketing, promotion, voice acting, and publishing for games and anime.[1][3]
In May 2011, AGM launched the Japan-based version of the Playism website, an indie game distribution platform. With the aim of introducing Western indie games to Japan, Playism started off by distributing localized versions of Machinarium and SpaceChem.[5] Aside from being a distribution platform, Playism offers indie game funding, localization, and publishing services for indie game developers.[6] Along with the English release of Nigoro’s archaeological platformer La-Mulana, Playism launched the English version of the Playism store in July 2012.[5] In addition to both paid and free indie games, Playism also offers a Pay what you want system for some of its titles.[7] The platform adapts a concept similar to Steam.
