> PC gaming is dead.

Yeah billions of dollars dead.

from 2007: "The biggest gaming platform last year was the PC. Why? Online revenue alone exceeded 7 billion USD in 2007. As well, DFC predicts total PC gaming revenue to top 19 billion by 2013"

from 2008 14% plummet in PC game sales, cause why, cause of MMO's and Steam we buy online and not retail. http://www.examiner.com/x-892-PC-Game-Examiner~y2009m1d19-PC...



Interesting. I know that there is lots of activity in certain sectors of PC gaming based on a subscription model where piracy is also basically impossible. (World of Warcraft, for example).
