Hi, I wrote this. I'm very surprised it made the front page and I'm a bit embarrassed. People pointing out you can just hash the seed for different "streams" are completely correct, and in video games, people generally don't care about whether two PRNGs are correlated.
I originally found PCG32 because I needed to implement a pure-Swift, cross-platform PRNG for a game jam so my game would run on Linux as well as Mac. For that purpose, it was great.
