Creation In 2008, comedic writer
Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw employed the comedically extreme term "Glorious PC Gaming Master Race" in a
Zero Punctuation video-review for the role-playing game
The Witcher for the online gaming magazine
The Escapist.
Popularization The rapid growth of the shortened and now re-appropriated "PC Master Race" term as well as its handful of associated communities has attracted the attention of related computer hardware and game companies such as Corsair and Valve, as well as celebrities such as
Terry Crews. Since 2015, several large technology companies have partnered with the PC Master Race group to organize contests, events and giveaways, such as
AMD, and
Nvidia. == References ==
