Every few years the whole "PC gaming is dead" argument creeps out of the woodwork. However, the story is something different altogether this year. A piece written by Kotaku's editor supreme Brian Crecente for the Rocky Mountain News looks at the medium of PC gaming as a market for a potential renaissance. The article looks at some of the hurdles that need to be leapt in order for PC gaming's rebirth. Among them? Piracy, lack of innovation and a failure to capitalize on the upgradeable nature of PC gaming.

Crecente put together a companion piece for the feature where he interviewed a bunch of PC gaming's biggest names and asked them some questions about the future of PC gaming. On the list of people Crecente spoke with? Richard "Lord British" Garriott and Sid Meier of Pirates fame.
