Wes has been covering games and hardware for more than 10 years, first at tech sites like The Wirecutter and Tested before joining the PC Gamer team in 2014. Wes plays a little bit of everything, but he'll always jump at the chance to cover emulation and Japanese games.
In this special episode of our podcast, recorded at the 2024 Game Developers Conference, PC Gamer Global Editor-in-Chief Evan Lahti sat down with a special group of guests to talk about where PC gaming is atRebecca Ford - Creative Director, WarframeCasey Yano - Co-founder, Mega Crit
" wasn't intended to be a new genre-creating thing," Mega Crit's Casey Yano says."The expectation for a card game was that it has to be PvP, and I didn't think that was true. The only way to prove anything on the internet is to do it yourself, so we just made a game." "We've found that the best people to draw in new players are the players themselves," said EVE Online's Eyrún Jónsdóttir."When current players draw other players into the game, that combat the complexity. You need a bit of social support to get into it. Then players really, really enjoy it when they have that kind of onboarding."
"I'm a very optimistic futurist for PC as the primary platform," Ford said."I think it's the most important for people in our age cohort, and has the greatest potential for border-crossing community building. I've connected with more people than I ever thought possible in my entire life, all because I sat in front of a PC, installed Steam, and installed Discord and played games with them. These two things together as forces are so supremely positive, even in isolation.
