Capcom, Guildhall Join PC Gaming Alliance Board
by Chris Faylor, Feb 03, 2009 7:46am PSTThe ranks of the PC Gaming Alliance's board of directors grew by two today, as it announced the addition of representatives from Capcom and The Guildhall .
Based in Japan, Capcom is best known as the developer and publisher behind the Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Mega Man series, among others. Meanwhile, The Guildhall, located at Southern Methodist University, teaches game-making.
The PC Gaming Alliance, its stated goal to "drive worldwide growth of PC gaming," noted that the move broadens its knowledge of the "PC gaming issues and requirements" faced by publishers and educational communities.
"Capcom believes strongly in the value and strength of the PC gaming market as a global platform for our entertainment brands," said Capcom VP Christian Svensson, adding that Capcom's past PCGA participation "has greatly improved our understanding of the market....and allowed us to participate in improving the field of PC gaming."
"We're pleased to have a representative on the board in order to directly help shape the future of the PC gaming environment," concluded Svensson.

Seriously. With all the shit that's happened recently on PC, doing things like 1) continuing to use Securom despite better alternatives and 2) Skipping the largest and by far most popular digital download service, Steam, with Bionic Commander Rearmed - mean They Dont Get It and Dont Get The Platform. Yet.
Make some good remakes of the Resident Evil series on the PC and get decent digital delivery happening and we'll welcome you with loving arms and a warm embrace. And a blowjob.

Further they promote SecuROM harder than any other company. Look at that Neopets game on Steam which they published. I'm sure it's a HUGE target for pirates, right? And yet it has a 5 machine activation limit.
