If you're into **multiplayer games** on PC, then you've landed in the right spot! These kinds of digital diversions aren't just a fad—they’ve been steadily evolving for decades now. Back in the dial-up days of the '90s (remember waiting forever while your roommate screamed about the occupied landline?!), deathmatch arenas like Quake III and Starcraft's ladder system were where gamers first bonded through broadband (okay, okay, ISDN lines!).

Next Gen Challenges
