Carmack Says World of Warcraft Driving PC Gaming
In an interview with Gamasutra, Id Software's John Carmack says Blizzard's World of Warcraft has spurred PC gaming, and he reaffirmed his company's support of the PC as a platform.
Carmack described World of Warcraft as "a train driving all the PC sales numbers altogether on gaming." He acknowledged that most players of "higher-end games" play them on the consoles, but said "the PC still has a strong enough margin to make games, and we continue to support it."
The studio head went on to say part of the reason PC gaming has remained less popular is because of well-implemented console connectivity features like Xbox Live and other PC-like options. The company's forthcoming title Rage will launch on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well as PC and Mac.
"I'm sorry but for a good intensive "multiplayer" game with good controls nothing beats a keyboard..."136 Comments
