Valve may have appeared to cross Sandy Bridge right over to the dark side, but Gabe Newell’s taken the mic yet again to explain why PC gaming – regardless of the form it takes – will always be on top.
“We see [the PC] as the centre of innovation of everything that’s going on, whether it’s microtransactions, MMOs, free-to-play, or something like CityVille which – after its first month – has 84 million people playing,” Newell told Develop.
“To us, this is just an indication of why open platforms are where innovations are going to occur.”
We don’t really have anything to add. Except, er, this whole thing. Or the short version: Minecraft has now sold one million units. It’s still in beta. Yeah.
