The State of PC Gaming roundtable (2024) - Larian, Digital Extremes, CCP, Mega Crit

Global-editor-in-chief Evan Lahti leads the developers behind some of PC gaming’s biggest hits in a discussion on the state of our hobby and the biggest trends, risks and opportunities in PC gaming today. Joining us: Michael Douse - Director of Publishing, Larian (Baldur’s Gate 3) - Rebecca Ford - Creative Director, Warframe - Eyrún Jónsdóttir - VP of Publishing at CCP (EVE Online) - Casey Yano - Co-founder, Mega Crit (Slay the Spire) - In this 80 minute conversation, our guests talk about making “hyper-engaging“ games that defy the traditional advice of appealing to as broad an audience of players as possible; the innovation in game development only happening on PC; Steam as a “democratic“ platform; industry layoffs and the emerging use of AI in development; and what we should take away from the standout successes of 2024, like Helldivers 2 and Balatro.
