Alot of that will depend on the crowd you’re asking. PC gamers don’t go to valley balleywho, in fact they don’t do much of anything outside of stay in their room playing video games. There’s too many gaming clubs at other universities that have large FPS populations for me to believe that WCU doesn’t have anyone interested in it at all.
Btw, since you’re reading this, now that TF2 is free it could easily be made to be a huge draw for the PC section if someone that cares about it is elected into PC leadership. I’ve tried to contact Felix about this and other issues over the last few months but other than joining your minecraft server to ask I don’t think he’ll ever bother to respond. Speaking of minecraft, how’s the server been since I optimized it?
Yes you must mean you never went to VBH. I am solely a PC gamer and I went every single year while I was a student and I know quite a few others who did as well. Most of the PC gamers I know actually do a lot of stuff outside of “sitting in their rooms” but then again they have friends and are generally likable people. Besides if they’re too lazy, friendless, or socially awkward to leave their room to even learn that we have a gaming club during the club fair then they will likely not bother going to the LAN events even if they know we have a club. It’s also not so much that people aren’t interested in FPSs it’s that no one is interested in the dead horse that is CS:S. PC gamers unlike a lot of consolers are a diverse bunch with a lot of different tastes in games. I like FPSs but not the usual ones like Generic Modern Military Shooter 2004 Edition. Instead I enjoy things like the STALKER franchise, Left4Dead, and Fallout. Other people I know do not share my tastes or even each others tastes in PC games and thus catering to the PC group is more difficult than it is for console which is “Play Halo/Gears/CoD/Blaz” all day errday. One shared game amongst the PC group right now is League of Legends and possibly Heroes of Newerth now that it is F2P. TF2 could also be a large draw for the club since it is F2P as well but that all remains to be seen.
