Hi all,

We have just published a feature that tries to answer the question: *Is
Accessibility Killing PC Gaming*? If you could post a link on your site
that would be very much appreciated.

*/The renewed focus on creating deep but accessible game experiences is
to my mind the real reason that games are changing and that PC games are
often being said to be getting consolified -- but there's a real
difference between a poor console port and a game which has been
designed to make the best of both worlds.

Games are a technology driven industry and that means it's inherent to
their nature to change over time. The push to make sure that games are
accessible experiences which don't require huge time commitments to get
familiar with could be the thing to push games into their next form,
like the transformation from 2D to 3D worlds.

PC games aren't dying and I hope they never do, though I did admittedly
say the same thing back when the word went around that the adventure
game genre was being put in its coffin. Games, like times, are changing
though and I for one am ready to embrace the evolution of games from
deep and over-complicated affairs to streamlined and more open
experiences and as long as we don't lose the fun-factor in the
transition then I don't really see what there is to complain about./
