A console game character prominently displayed on a site of a group intending to promote the PC platform - am I the only one who sees the irony here? If console ports (even if decent ones) are the best the PC has to offer, it really is doomed.



Then again, given that the PCGA has seemingly done nothing in the last year or so, and that companies like Valve or Blizzard aren't even part of it, their uselessness is no surprise.



Do you think you are one of the people who will change that, Mr. Svensson? I definitely hope so.

Will is as much a PC Gaming character as he is a console character.



The PCGA has done a lot in the past year, much of it, unfortunately is not visible to people outside of the membership (yet). I will point tou our Horizon's report which is the first reasonably accurate estimate of the actual value of the global PC gaming ecosystem, the 2008 edition should be out in a few weeks.

Sweet! This would probably ensure the safety of Caocom's PC games and through this cooperation, I am really looking forward to Capcom's future PC titles!

Looks promising.

Dark Void so far seems to be Gears of War with jetpacks, basically, thus very much a console game. But, we'll see.



Last year's Horizons report was kind of short, just putting a bunch of figures out there, but not much else. It would be interesting to see a more in-depth analysis of the trends that shape PC game sales. For instance, taking a look at the real impact of piracy - a Dutch study stated that pirates are 45% of all consumers who buy stuff legally, and they actually spend more than those who refrain from illegal downloading. Or looking at the differences between the shopping habits of people buying games at retail, online, or as downloads - like how a tower defense game managed to climb into the top 10 of Direct2Drive. That sort of things.
