Rahulsood, the founder of Voodoo PC and the CTO of HP's Gaming buisness, writes an interesting article I think most PC gamers already knew.
There was a project that got killed at Microsoft. This project was designed to allow console gamers and PC gamers to interact and battle over a connected environment. Personally I wish it would have stayed the course. I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their "console" controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse.
Wait for it........
The console players got destroyed every time. So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative. Is this why the project was killed Who knows, but I'd love to hear from anyone involved --- what happened?
As we say in the PC community, "The biggest detriment to PC gaming is Microsoft and not piracy"
Head on over to Rahulsood's blog to read the full article.
