  •  I don't think it's dead (none / 0)

    but the huge efforts and big budget games aren't going to be focused on the PC any more.  When traditional PC companies like Epic and Valve moves towards putting the majority of their efforts on the console versions of their products, you just know you're going to see different type of games on the PC.

    Games like WoW and even other flash-based games and whatnot are the hotness on PC.

    The other huge problem is piracy on the PC.  Because it's an open system, people can easily just steal the game they want, so you're not going to see sales numbers being the same on the PC side.  Piracy is a lot more difficult on the console side.  

    I don't think PC gaming is dead, I just think it's not going to be the major focus of a company that wants to make huge, big budget games any more.  At least anything exclusive to the PC.  Crysis is an exception and from what I read, it was a sales disappointment.
