Save pc gaming: Is it really dying?

OK we have all read the cries of the death of the PC gaming. I don't know if these people just think if they whine enough about it their hopes are it'll be self-fulling or maybe it's something much more sinister than that. I think the people that bitch about it just get paid on page views. That's the only thing I can think of.

Let's be honest we are not fearful of the death of PC gaming what we are scared that might happen is that it'll be the death of "hardcore" games. I don't think anyone who really cares about the state of PC gaming will shed to many tears if one day you when you buy a computer it wont have solitaire on it or minesweeper. What they care about is if Blizzard will go console only. Or if City of Heroes will wither and die.

We all know the truth weather we want to admit it or not. Blizzard has more money than all the gods put together thought history and more computers are sold each year than game systems. So is PC gaming dying? No it's just accelerating at a faster pace than consoles because it can. It's really that simple, when was the last time you saw on the Nintendo store to up the ram or processor? Granted

Now what I will concede is that the PC gaming market does care less and less about people who do not upgrade on a regular basis. Well that's really to true either I guess because remember Blizzard the people with all your money? They strive to make games work on the lowest possible machine they can. Now the truth isn't that sexy as it seems no rush to arms no great cause; just the cold hard facts. OK we have all read the cries of the death of the PC gaming.

Let's be honest none of us are fearful of the death of PC gaming. What we are scared that might happen is that it'll be the death of "hardcore" games. I don't think anyone who really pays attention to the debate about the state of PC gaming will shed a tear if one day you when you buy a computer it wouldn't have solitaire on it or minesweeper on it. What they care about is if Blizzard will go to console only. Or if for some mysterious reason Valve shuts down forever, and that would scare people on two fronts. The first is Valve is in fact important to the "hardcore" community because the list of such strong titles; also it's love of the mod communities. Yet, those of who are not Valve fans fear that steam would up and die. No one wants to have to re-buy a game and no one should. I think if Valve would just release it's numbers on steam sales. The "discussion" about the state of PC gaming would be the one dead. But then these writers would have to go and do some real work and not just preach the end of days.
