The World Cyber Games, or WCG, for a long while regarded as the pinnacle of the e-sports movement, has all but given up with news that it’s dropping all support of PC and console titles and switching to competitive…mobile gaming.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In a letter leaked to cadred, and confirmed as authentic by Gamearena, WCG CEO Brad Lee writes: In recent years, the gaming and IT trends have been moving so fast. In the current status of gaming and IT industry, one of the most remarkable information to us was the mobile shipments have exceeded the PC shipments. As wide spread mobile devices, mobile gamer would rapidly increase as well. In this situation, the major PC game publishers have been expanding their investment and business in the mobile game development & publishing. This information was very cruel to us since we had been committed HUC to the PC-Based gaming event for long time. We have witnessed that there have been many companies and organizations who went out of business because they didn’t put effort to change. Therefore we concluded that we should create WCG’s new identity. Under this circumstance, we made a hard decision that we should bring the mobile, new key sector in the game industry, in our event concept. Hence, WCG decided to start the Mobile Game-Based Festival. To create the Mobile Game-Based Festival, WCG is under the discussion with the sponsors and game publishers regarding new event structure and the countries for new festival. Therefore, there will be no longer present event module, such as Pan Championship, and PC-Based National Finals. And, the official game titles of WCG will consist of mobile games. Um, what? As PC gaming continues its digital resurgence and companies like Valve develop games specifically for HUC99 the scene, one of the largest e-sports organisations thinks its time to walk away and go mobile? Sorry, not buying that story. Whatever the future holds for the competition, which has been superseded in relevance lately by other organisations and game-specific events and w88 leagues, we’ll always share that one moment, WCG. When we met before. Through the magic of a moment in cyberspace https://kotaku.com/world-cyber-games-2010-kicks-off-in-la-5652722 WCG to shift focus from PC to Mobile only [GameArena]
