You are aware Steam is halfway to the "cloud" and the skyrocketing cost of parts means people who can't shell out 3k+ for a GPU are going to be cloud gamers on the PC within a decade right?
No, it means the same thing it always has, that those who can not afford the highest end cards will buy mid-tier cards they can actually afford and run their games at a resolution lower than 4k. This not a new story, it is in fact as old as gaming on computers itself.

But I digress, we're getting off topic.

That's the state of PC gaming and they aren't going to E3. Nintendo has their own event. So do Sony and Microsoft. They all have media feeds, own events, and even updates and news on their consoles.

They don't need it. It's a shit show.
Back then, the argument was "but you can have a console for $300, who in their right mind will pay for a PC instead?".
