PC GAMING IS DEAD!

That's right folks, send those GTs back, you'll have no use for them soon. CliffyB thinks the PC is going casual with web based games and more titles like The Sims [Source]. And he wants to concentrate on AAA titles for consoles.
This isn’t the first time articles like this have shown up recently (disappointing most of the time its coming from 1UP, who seem to be very anti-PC recently).

What do you guys think? Is PC gaming a thing of the past or is CliffyB just annoyed because they’ve lost touch with the market that made them as big as they?
 
THIS THREAD IS DEAD!


PC gaming is only dead when VALVE say it's dead.






















And when Duke Nukem Forever has been completed by myself.
 
PC gaming will always be there and will never die or be beaten by consoles. Lest we forget, console games are built and designed on PC's.
 
The entire reason seems to be based on UT3 which was god awful compared to the other games out there. Its just a case of "my game didnt sell, youre all coming down with me!" loser.
 
PC Gamings dead, what with.......

The GFW Initiative
The PC Gaming Alliance (MS, AMD, Nvidia, Intel)
Capcom Making PC Games
Pretty much every single freaking game appearing on the platform
Valve & Steam
 
i feel that Pc gaming is declining slighlty but it wont die. i just wish developers would make less ports and concentrate on a solid release of a quality game.

PC's will always be the home for online gaming. You only have to look at the ammount of MMORPG games that are out and how many subscribers their are.
 
PC gaming shall never die.

I can't get enough of them atm. I'm currently playing TF2/CSS/UT3 and a handful of other SP games and I can't find enough time to play them!
 
Well pc style gaming may be dying since most games these days are for console goers which usually are for casual, and dumed down due to lack of hardware like pc has. The thing that is killin pc games is that there isnt a standard hardware set like consoles have, which really make developers love console game making over pc games making which is crushing pc development.
 
Before i say this, PC gaming in my eyes is currently the daddy... HOWEVER.

I got a PS3 today, and got well into Drakes Fortune. While it may not be the deepest game ever (but it certainly isn't shallow), it just feels more... 'expensive' than PC games. The voice acting is utterly sublime, the storyline (so far) is fantastic, the characters are brilliantly realized... everything about it is just a little bit 'more' than the PC games i've played over the past year.

This'll probably raise some backs... apologies, tis just my opinion.

It actually is worth debating, maturely (good luck with that), one of the big names working for the developers who helped make PC gaming, in fact all gaming, what it is today has said that he feels PC gaming is dead.

This is a bold statement, is he saying it because he's annoyed at the UT3 sales flop or because he has some basis? Discuss!
