Mr. Wright told journalists that Nvidia is well aware of the fact that players sometimes repel the complexity of the PC market, but, according to him, the company is actively working on the destruction of barriers between games on PC and consoles. «We want to make a game environment on a PC as simple as possible, and we believe that today this platform is becoming more important and attractive for casual players», — Said Mr. Wright.
