In
a recent interview with PC Retail,
Blizzard's COO Paul Sams gives us a look into the present and future state of the company after the launch of the record-breaking
Wrath of the Lich King expansion for
World of Warcraft. Sams touches on the work Blizzard is doing between
Starcraft II, Diablo III and their upcoming "unannounced" MMO, still in the works.
What we found most interesting about this interview was Sams' view on PC gaming, discouraging that water-cooler rumor that MMOs (namely
WoW) are keeping PC gaming alive in this troubled market. He points out that their support of games like
Starcraft II and
Diablo III shows that they believe in the longevity of PC gaming across the board.
"I think that there's always going to be a very big place for PCs - they are multi-use devices." Sams stated.
"Consoles are brilliant, but at this stage are not multi-use devices, or at least not compared to a PC."
