TOPIC: Is PC Gaming Dead?

Are these the end of days for your killer desktop gaming rig? What is the driving force changing the way we play games?

Sales of desktop computers are in significant decline over the last few years. Your killer desktop PC is the most powerful gaming rig available, no question. So why are fewer people buying them, instead taking a different route? We’ve all heard the PC vs Console debate; the surprise is the clear winner seems to be neither. There’s a tiny alternative, and it’s completely changing the way we think about games. The bigger question is, why?

DIG is basically here! Tomorrow is the VIP Welcome Reception, and then Wednesday is the BIG DIG day! Don't miss out on incredible keynotes. renowned speakers, invaluable workshops, the interactive DIGx room, the opportunity to sell yourself to 4 local tech companies (Canada's Got Game Talent- register here), and the closing keynote and networking reception, the Inter Mingle- complete with the famous DIG photobooth. 

The only way to access all of this goodness is if you register- do it now, before it's just a regret.
