Today millions of people play video games on a regular basis all over the world. They play all kinds of games such as mobile games, PC games, games on consoles etc. Needless to say, this makes the gaming industry a force to reckon with. This fascination with the gaming world is mainly due to the innovation and high standards attributed to the industry. This has served well to level the playing field by relaxing the entry barriers that kept new entrants at bay and thus inviting both big and small players to compete.
Although the competition threatening the existence of PC gaming has been stiff, developers have been upping their standards to keep them running. This has however been hampered by the wide popularity of consoles and mobile gaming. It has been hard to compete with small portable devices that have powerful processors and displays which developers have been exploiting to their advantage. However, this is not to say that PC gaming is dying, statistics actually point to the contrary. Take a look below:-
- Superior visual capabilities
When it comes to visual capabilities, there will never be any comparison between PC gaming and mobile gaming, it doesn’t matter kind of graphic resolution mobile devices can provide. The games thus look best on PCs especially for high end games that have been designed to shine on the screen.
- Unlimited disk space
Sure, mobile games are easily available as you only need to download them from the app store then install them on the phone, space limitations are real. PCs on the other hand don’t have such space limitations, you can have as many games as possible stored on your internal hard drive and if that’s not enough, you can store them in an external drive. This enables one to have as many games as they want for a superior gaming experience.
- Library capabilities
Another advantage of PC gaming is that one gets the opportunity to own games dating back to the 90s if they wish. You get to create your own library of games which you can store on your computer and play whenever the urge strikes. This enables one to enjoy their favourite games regardless of which era they are from. The experience is not affected as the games can be upgraded, tweaked, hacked or modified to one’s liking.
- Unrestricted access
PC gaming can be described as universal because most games play on any PC be it a MacBook or a windows PC. This means that you can carry your games on an external source like a hard drive when on the move then find a computer, plug in the drive and you are good to go.
Conclusion
Despite the fact that mobile gaming has millions of fans, it has yet to reach the level of PC gaming in so many areas. For one, it is not making as much money as PC gaming is which is partly due to the resources that go into the development of a PC game. This is why millions of hard core gamers don’t bother with mobile gaming as they know where the quality lies..
