The PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA), a non-profit PC gaming promotion group comprising companies such as Intel, nVidia, AMD, Microsoft, Capcom and Epic Games, has released a report revealing that worldwide software sales for PC gaming reached $13.1 billion in revenues in 2009, which represents a 3 percent increase over 2008.
This performance was due in large part to the continued propagation of digital distribution and sales through this avenue and growth in the Asia Pacific region, while increases in free-to-play and online social gaming and declines in subscription-based online games made growth a tough prospect in established markets.
The winners of Intel’s ‘Intel Level Up Game Demo Challenge 2009’ have been announced, a competition that called on independent game developers to create a game demo that took advantage of the computer chip maker’s various processing and graphics technologies.
The winners received all kinds of cool hardware and software, which is sure to boost their game development efficiency, as well as the opportunity to receive extra marketing exposure for their games.
Be sure to download and play the entries by visiting the competition’s site - they all look rather excellent!
You can browse through the list of winners below, as well as read about the authors of each entry who hail from all corners of the world.
