PC Gaming Alliance Unites

The future of PC gaming seems to be a bit of a hot topic at the moment! Not only is it the subject of our current poll (btw if you haven’t voted…ahem..get a move on), but it’s been statistically trashed and had its viability questioned.

Not everyone chooses to see such a pessimistic future for our friend the PC however, and a group of concerned citizens (ie. people who have billions of dollars riding on the fact that the PC remains key) have banded together to address issues and discuss current and future trends that affect the beloved personal computer. Members include both software (Activision, Epic, Microsoft0 and hardware (AMD, Nvidia, Intel) developers, among others. And what creative name have they come up with to accurately represent the innovation, excitement, and drive of the PC Gaming industry?

PC Gaming Alliance.

Now if that doesn’t just get your knickers in a bunch I don’t know what will.

Seriously though, I do hope that this isn’t a bunch of wealthy industry schmucks getting together for dinner and patting each other on the back. There are definitely some serious problems that will be faced by the PC industry with regards to gaming, and challenges that it needs to come up with solutions for if it hopes to keep pace with the ever more complex console landscape. Let’s hope that their stated goal, taken from their website, isn’t just a bunch of empty words.

We will promote the PC Gaming Industry and the PC as a gaming platform, provide web and event based forums to discuss, debate and influence all aspects of PC development for gaming for all regions of the world, and guidance to help resolve industry-wide challenges such as: Piracy, Cheating, Security, Consumer experience.

PC Gaming Alliance will also provide guidelines to simplify hardware specifications and speed the introduction of new technologies, as well as improve Consumer PC Gaming Experience by working with developers and publishers and PCGA members to maximize the PC gaming experience in all ways possible.
