PC gaming expected to be worth $35 billion in 2018

"PC gaming is huge and growing, thanks to popular free-to-play games like League of Legends and World of Tanks. The growing e-sports scene is also helping. In fact, game-business group Open Gaming Alliance (OGA) expects both of those factors to help the industry grow from $26 billion in 2014 to $35 billion in 2018, as you can see in the chart above."

OGA got its figures from research firm DFC Intelligence.

“In past years much of the growth in PC games has been due to adoption of the platform in Asia. Now we are estimating a potential 86 million PC gamers outside Asia that we have targeted as market growth drivers,” DFC analyst David Cole noted in an e-mail sent to us along with the projections. “These are the consumers that are driving spending not just on software, but also on PC hardware, as they buy expensive equipment to play, view, and record games.”

Meanwhile, OGA expects console gaming sales to rise through 2018 and then begin to fall, which makes sense since the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be about five years old at that point. It also expects handheld sales to continue declining as mobile platforms continue to grow.

Cities: Skylines breaks Paradox' day-one sales records

City-building sim Cities: Skylines has become Paradox' most successful game launch, selling 250,000 copies in its first 24 hours. The number—tallied from day one sales and pre-orders—has made CEO Fredrik Wester quite happy.

The inclusion of mod support should certainly help Skylines' longevity. There are already more than 3,400 mods hosted on the Steam workshop page, including one that lets you wander around your city in first-person, and another that adds a convenient autosave function.

Eπειδη μπερδευτηκα με τα σχολια μερικων χρηστων για το αν τελικα ειναι remaster ενος multiplatform τιτλου η αποκλειστικου, εαν τελικα ισχυει οτι ειναι remaster για multiplatform θα με ενδιεφερε να δουμε στην τωρινη γενια τα MGS Collection, Silent Hill Collection, Mass Effect Collection, remaster του MSG1 Twin Snakes κλπ. Τωρα αν τελικα ειναι exclusive θα μπορουσε να ειναι καποιο Uncharted Collection (να περιλαμαβανει και το Golden Abyss), Gears Of War Trilogy κλπ.
