PC Multiplayer

In the world of PC gaming, multiplayer gaming can be intense. On PC gamers can customize and edit the worlds they play in to the extreme. An example of this customization can be seen in many games. In my experience I've seen Call of Duty maps in the desert turned into Christmas themed winter wonderlands, NBA 2K15 games featuring real life television broadcast presentations that don't come with the game, and custom articles of clothing in Grand Theft Auto. PC multiplayer is a different world. An online game that has a historic following is World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft has had over 100 million accounts created since the games release. World of Warcraft is classified as a "massively multiplayer online role-player game" or "MMORPG." In April 2008 it was estimated to hold 62% of all MMORPG gamers In the game gamers create a character and join a realm. Players must choose a profession, form secondary skills, and form guilds with other players. This is an example of the power of PC multiplayer gaming. Another example is minecraft, although minecraft would later be released on consoles. Minecraft is a completely player created world, btw you can find some of the most hilarious gaming videos online of people playing minecraft. Players can construct their own worlds and play different game modes against each other. This isn't the first game where a player can create their own world but its a good example of one. People love the feel of customization and often like to share their work with others. PC gaming is a beloved way to play multiplayer games but many push it under the rug for the seemingly more simple console gaming. In my belief the PC Multiplayer world is one that can't be match by consoles.
