Nah, PC gaming isn't going away anytime soon. It might be a minority market these days, but the fact is, there are loads of PC hardliners who wouldn't touch a console on (stupid) principle, or people will just can't afford console games, or people who prefer PC gaming for whatever reason. And where there's a market, there's someone cashing in on it.

Besides, some genres (RTS in particular) are simply much, much better suited to mouse and keyboard control. Until consoles broadly adopt those peripherals (and it won't happen in this generation), the PC is going to be king here.

If anything is killing PC gaming, it's piracy (whether in fact, or simply developer/publisher perspective) and dumb DRM policies. And whining. My god, PC gamers can whine.

No, I don't think so. I still would have called you out on it, in the same way I did to Azi. It still doesn't look like you're joking. Which is the problem with email/internets. Unless you're in an environment informal enough to use smilies (like here), you need to phrase what you say exceptionally carefully in order to avoid getting the wrong message across. Azi could have just used a smilie and would have laughed at it. But she didn't, so I felt the need to call her out...
 
point very well maed GReen ORB. but let's leave it shall we? it's going to get ugly soon enough :) <---- see that's how u do a smily and sarcasm! :p

Rolf! Keep proving the point we made.
As for sucking up to Azimuth, funniest thing ive heard since Syco pretended to be indian. Me and her have had our fair share of confrontations. Thing is u go out of ur way to attack her, she didn't attack u. But im waisting posts on this. As i will no doubt get some simple minded insult hurled my way. If that makes u feel like a big man, knock ur self out.

This is true. Calling out is fine, she explained it was a joke and no harm came from it. Personal attacks on the other hand have the opposite effect.

Aion
Plants vs Zombies
World of Goo
Dragon Age Origins

I'm surprised at how few games I bought for PC this year. While I bought over 25 PS3 + PSN games in the same period, not including DLC.

How many subscribers to online MMOs? It's far from dying in my opinion. Game sales, maybe, but online gaming is in its prime for pc gamers. I'm still hoping that the game sales do pick up though.
 
I for one like the fight between azimuth and everybody else :D They fun to watch

I was with my friend at incredible corruption yesterday and they had a MW2 PS3 demo, will I was playing he kept on commenting how its had now AA, that reminded me PS3 only has a Geforce 7 series graphics card :sick: So I think console is definitely not for "awesome" graphics games, another market for PC :D
