Newegg Commerce continued its 2021 Gametober festivities by launching ‘The Best PC Game of All Time Tournament Giveaway.’ Powered by AMD, the tournament pits 16 of the most popular PC games against one another in bracketed fashion, with visitors to Newegg.com casting votes to determine which games advance in the competition and which ones are eliminated. In the end, the last game standing will be crowned the Best PC Game of All Time.
