The PC Gaming Alliance have officially unveiled themselves at the GDC in San Francisco this week, the group of major PC gaming players expressing their hopes for the future of the platform, which has suffered under pressure from consoles in recent years.

Epic, Microsoft, Activision, Intel, AMD, nVidia, Dell, Alienware, Razer and Gateway are the founding companies of the new group, which will look to advance the PC gaming cause.

The firms will aid PC developers in making the most of the platform, while also standardising the experience a la Games for Windows.

Speaking at the GDC, the alliance "will focus on driving coordinated marketing and promotion of PC gaming, consistent and accurate reporting of PC gaming market sizing and research, and creating forums for member companies to cooperate on solutions to challenges facing the PC gaming industry, such as hardware requirements, anti-piracy, and more".

"PCGA members believe that we are stronger and more effective together than any member company is alone, and that our shared vision and group effort will improve PC gaming worldwide," added Intel's Randy Stude on the alliance.
