The San Jose Mercury News web site is reporting that at next week's Game Developers Conference a number of companies, including those that are normally fierce rivals, will be announcing a new effort to promote PC gaming. According to the article, which uses unnamed sources, the group will be called the PC Gaming Alliance and will involve a joint effort between companies like Microsoft, Intel, NVIDIA, AMD as well as a number of computer companies. The story states that the PC Gaming Alliance "will keep the PC competitive with game consoles to attract key game developers" and adds that it "will coordinate and expand those efforts to improve the experience of playing games on computers." The original story is found here, while the time when we'll see if this is all true is February 18-22, 2008 in San Francisco, or the date when GDC starts.

AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL working jointly:eek: The End is Nigh.

Glad to see this happening though. PC gaming needs a boost (and it's in the best interest of all those parties - well not so much MS- that it flourish).

The day I see these companies in the same booth is the day I know the Apocalypse is coming! :))
I'm sure I read in the Bible this is like the 3th Horseman of the Apocalypse, the 4th being Microsoft Linux :p
Yeah, we're doomed!

One a more serious note: PC Gaming really needs a boost

Back to possibly funny stuff: I want GTA4 for the PC!!! I want mods so I can get my car into GTA4 and do virtual illegal stuff! I can't just run over people and drive like a moron in the real world... all the time...

Looks like they started a pcgamingalliance website.

Check out the pdf under Our Mission. Chairman from Dell, President from Intel, Tresurer from AMD, Secretary from MS and CTO from Nvidia.

Interesting times.
