It looks like the PC Gaming Alliance has has enough of the PC game industry getting slammed by developers. Earlier this week Lionhead head man Peter Molyneux said the state of the PC game industry was, in his opinion, in "tatters". Now the PC Gaming Alliance has sent over a response from its president Randy Stude that takes on Molyneux's comment's head on. Here is the statement:We respect Peter Molyneux as one of the legends in the industry, but we think he is way off-base with his assessment of the PC gaming industry. In fact, the PC Gaming Alliance just released the findings of our Horizons research report in August and it shows that the industry is stronger than ever. An industry with 10.7 billion in revenue during 2007 is hardly in tatters. Beyond the financial aspect of this, the PC is still the world's leading platform for gaming. There are plenty of AAA titles like Conan, Warhammer Online and Spore, as well as smaller games that appeal to people beyond the console audience. And even though there are many AAA titles in the pipeline for PC, the success of an industry can't be measured in AAA titles alone.
