Pc gamming isn’t dead yet.
Although saying this pc gaming is not far from dying.
When I first starting gaming, it was on a NES at computers where at least $3000K. This was back in the early 90’s. I got a sega mega drive great console. Many memories. It wasn’t until I got a PC and started modding Quake 1 I realized PC gaming was the way of the future.
From there I went to many lan parties made mods even encoded MP3’s It use to take about 4 hours to convert a CD in to MP3’s. I use to dream of the day I would be able to play online. This day has come and gone.
More and more games are released with retard DLC or no dedicated servers or LAN modes. RTS use to be the only genre of games that consoles couldn’t compete with. But sadly RTS is a dying genre.
Can someone name a top selling RTS game that was made after 2007 with Lan support?
Or an FPS?
Over the years there have been many epic PC titles. One of my favorite developers Bullfrog where bought out by EA then rapped and hidden away. Although its good EA haven’t remade any of their games and killed them like they did to Westwood.
ID software are dead, there last release was crap. Pretty much everything after doom 3 has sucked, it may look good but it hasn’t had any real multilayer or been ground breaking.
Unreal tournament was an epic game sadly the 3rd game wasn’t as much fun as the first.
Games use to be based around LAN and multiplayer support. Now they are only based around multilayer. There are some good single player games. But most game companies just try and flog as many games as they can.
MODs, look at some of the top selling PC games counterstrike day of defeat they were once mods. Pretty much most of what would have been a free mod is now passed off for a game. The modding scene has been dying. Who to blame? EA? Blizzard? Pirates ? DLC? Or this is the way gaming has gone?
Most games now days a rehashes of old games. Although I don't mind spending some coin if its done right. When its done horribly wrong eg flatout 3 it makes you angry.
Is it just me or are games less inventive and less fun? Is there more shovel ware out there?

Consoles can not be user upgraded, save for maybe adding a larger HDD but that doesn't really net you any performance increase just capacity.
