Considering how E3 is the biggest gaming expo in North America and the PC is the biggest gaming platform in the world, you’d think that E3 would have an event dedicated to the PC, but it never has. E3 has always been a console show with a bit of PC mixed in here and there, but that’s all going to change this year. Finally, the expo is going to have an event dedicated solely to PC games.

E3 might be the biggest gaming expo in the United States, but it’s always been missing one big thing—something near and dear to our hearts here at PCWorld. I’m talking, of course, about the PC itself. E3 is, by and large, a console show. Microsoft and Sony trot out all the year’s biggest games, trying to convince you that the future of gaming is in the living room. We’re left to pick at the scraps, saying “This is coming to PC too! We swear!” But we faithful know the PC is still king, and the folks over at PC Gamer (with the help of AMD) are helping to prove it. Tuesday during E3 we’re going to have yet another press conference to attend—this one focused exclusively on the PC. It’s dubbed PC Gaming Show. In addition to AMD, a smattering of other PC-focused devs will be on hand: Paradox, Cloud Imperium, Tripwire, Devolver, Humble, Blizzard, and Bohemia Interactive. Dean Hall (of DayZ fame) and Cliff Bleszinski (Unreal Tournament, Gears of War) will also be a part of the presentations. Presumably some games will be announced—Paradox, at least, has been hinting they’re revealing something at the show.
