Remember Cliffy B commenting the other week that PC Gaming was dying? Well Mark Rein thinks he is an idiot for saying this! Speaking to Tom’s Games regarding the PC Gaming Alliance Mark explains his view and talks about much more.

TG: But then you have Cliffy B come out and say that PC gaming is in disarray and…

MR: Oh he’s an idiot [laughing]. No, he’s a great guy. Cliff makes console games though, right? He’s on a console team that makes what is primarily a console game.

This is a great little interview regarding the PC Gaming Alliance and Rein’s views on the PC at the moment. Find it here.

In an interview The Guardian newspaper Mark Rein, Epic co-founder talks about lots of stuff, mainly console focused. However he does talk about the PC..and he hates the fact that consoles are becoming the ‘go-to’ place for games nowadays.

Traditionally the FPS was very much a strong point for PC, but now do you think consoles are catching up?
I’m a real fan of the PC, but yes, consoles are definitely stealing a lot of hardcore gamers from the PC. When Call of Duty 4 came out, I heard some of our guys sitting around talking about the great game they’d had last night and I’m like, ‘Hey guys, what server are you playing on? I’d love to come and join you,’ and they said, ‘Just send us a friends request,’ It was at that point I realized they were all playing it on console. Plus, the sales of the console versions are something like ten times the sales of the PC versions.

I feel the pain Mark…I feel it!
