None can deny the popularity of World of Warcraft. In fact, id Software’s John Carmack, the gaming legend, has openly admitted the power of the Blizzard MMORPG, saying that the game has spurred PC gaming, while at the same time reaffirming his company’s support of the PC as a platform.
He described WoW as a “train driving all the PC sales numbers altogether on gaming.” While he admits that most players of “high-end games” play them on consoles nowadays, the PC still has a “strong enough margin”such that “[id] continue to support it.”
Carmack then went on to say that the reason PC gaming has lost popularity is because of well implemented console features like Xbox Live and other PC-like options.
