One question that veterans of the gaming industry and the gamers are asking is that where is PC gaming heading. Previously Cliff Bleszinski had indicated that PC gaming is in disarray. But BioShock designer Ken Levine has softer words for PC gaming and wishes that it was more successful.
In an interview with Forbes, Ken Levine was asked about the biggest mistake made by the industry. Here is the explanation that Levine offered:
“I am a real believer in industrial Darwinism. It’s hard for an industry to make a mistake because the market tends to be self-correcting… but I wish the industry could find a way to make PC gaming more broadly successful. There are so many challenges for PC gaming, the complications from systems specifications to the drivers, most people look at PC games and say, ‘What are you talking about?’ It is a shame because as a gamer, I am never more comfortable than I am sitting with a mouse and keyboard two inches away from my monitor.”
Ken Levine also spoke about the delivery channel and digital distribution. According to the ace video games designer, there is one channel to deliver the product. He then went on to give the example of the film world where along with the theatrical release, there are DVDs and pay per views.
