It’s pretty much accepted that PC gaming is on a steady decline globally, with more and more people overlooking the trusty keyboard-mouse combo in favour of the console controller.
However, according to EA, PC gaming may be the future. Speaking to Gamasutra, EA Games label president Frank Gibreau has said that PC gaming may yet become the company’s biggest platform.
“The user base is gigantic,” he says. “PC retail may be a big problem, but PC downloads are awesome. … The margins are much better and we don’t have any rules in terms of first party approvals. From our perspective, it’s an extremely healthy platform. … It’s totally conceivable it will become our biggest platform.”
