<P> In current parlance, the term is used by PC enthusiasts both to describe themselves as a group, as well as their belief in the superiority of the PC platform in comparison to consoles, often citing features like more advanced graphics, smoother framerates, free online play, backwards compatibility, modifications, upgradability, customization, lower cost - over-time, open standards, multitasking, and performance . Popular imagery, discussion, and media referencing the term also commonly describes console users who find consoles better than PC as "console peasants" and people who play on PC as the "Glorious PC Gaming Master Race". </P> <P>--Ben Croshaw </P> <P> In 2008, comedic writer Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw employed the comedically extreme term "Glorious PC Gaming Master Race" in a video - review for the role - playing game The Witcher for the online gaming magazine The Escapist . Croshaw explained that his initial intent in referencing Nazi Germany's master race ideology when he coined the intense term' Glorious PC Gaming Master Race' was to poke fun at an elitist attitude he perceived among some of the Witcher's PC playerbase at the time of The Witcher's release, who had complained about the PC release of the game being possibly negatively affected by the console port of the game: </P> <P> "It was intended to be ironic, to illustrate what I perceived at the time to be an elitist attitude among a certain kind of PC gamer . People who invest in expensive gaming PCs and continually spend money to make sure the tech in their brightly - lit tower cases is up to date . Who actually prefer games that are temperamental to get running and that have complicated keyboard interfaces, just because it discourages new or' casual' players who will in some way taint the entire community with their presence . I meant it as a dig ." </P>
