Eight Reasons Why PC Gaming Isn’t Dead

Yeah, remember back when it was popular to say PC gaming is dead? It’s now popular to say it isn’t. CVG gives us 8 reasons why not, amongst which:

DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION
Digital distribution on PC poops all over console. Just look at the resounding success of Steam. It’s got 15 million accounts and an ever-expanding portfolio that includes FULL VERSIONS of a ton of major PC games and indie-developed projects.

Digital distribution is becoming increasingly important to gaming, and the PC is leading the way. So wading in with judgements on declining PC game sales that don’t take digital distribution into account is a bit misleading.

SPORE
When a design genius like Will Wright chooses to put his game on PC, then he clearly has confidence in the strength of the platform – and, of course, there’s the fact that an awful lot of people have PCs in their homes.

It’s just all about knowing how to go about tapping into that, and Spore is such a title. You may have already decided to hate Spore, or you may have already decided you want to have its babies. Whatever – Will Wright’s latest game is going to be a MASSIVE seller on PC.
