Forums - PC - Razer: "PC GAMING IS NOT DEAD" on Wall Street

Razer has just published a one page spread in the Wall Street Journal with a cryptic message saying that "on the 26th of August, we [Razer] will seek to end the silence and bring a new age of openness and innovation to gaming.", as well as a link to their pcgamingisnotdead.com website.

Well, duh. The only ones who say PC gaming is dead are brain damaged forum posters



Fantastic.
Now show me an awesome exclusive PC title that is not an indie game.
Aw, shit, got none.

Sure it's not dead, but console gaming these days is ways better.

Starcraft 2? Crysis? Age of Empires Online? The Witcher 1 & 2? About 90% of MMOs?

You might as well include Team Fortress 2, Oblivion and Fallout 3 considerring how much updates and mods have changed the core gameplay experience.

Crysis (1) will be out on consoles.

TW2 will be on 360 soon. They were gonna port TW1 but decided against it since they don't wanna half-ass it.

Never heard a thing about AoE online, and I dislike MMO's wherever they may be. How much of them are notable, anyway? Wow, the old republic, lineage 2, aion, and eve. Can't think of anything else.

You'd do bad to include multiplats with good mods - that's all they are, multiplats. They are almost always better on PC and the almost sole reason to own a gaming PC.

Starcraft 2 is great though ;)

The almost sole reason to own a gaming PC? And why won't you count indie games? Many of them are awesome and exclusive to the PC.

Because they are not at large. The stance "PC gaming is dead" is mainly the stance of the developers rather than the gamers, and the devs mainly don't make PC exclusives. Indie stuff is so there and so dominant because the PC is simple put the best platform to develop for if you want to do it cheaply and effectively - no devkits to buy, no licenses and fees to pay.

And yeah, the near-sole reason to own a gaming PC.



I miss Shio.... :(

It is most likely for the Razer "Switchblade"

geez why would anyone wants to play Quake on that thing, it's tiny screen looks most uncomfortable, handheld devices should know their place.
