PC Gaming what state will it be in 10 years from now.
- Thread starter magick
- Start date
Couldn't have put it better.
Each platform has its place in the market, neither is 'the way forward', one is not superior to the other.
Things will remain as they are until something new comes along and takes some market share from one/all of the platforms. Cloud computing as mentioned above could come along a decade from now and decimate all other forms of gaming, there's no way of knowing. I mean, a decade ago 512k internet connections were considered the height of technology, god knows what's on the horizon.

Gaming on PC will be around for as long as the PC exists, simply because as a computing device it will always have an ability to play games in one form or another.
Any mobile phone from the last ten years can play a game of some description. So games will always exist and be available for mobiles, just the same as it will for the PC.

Just need to have games that beat consoles games. As there are a lot i would like on the pc but wont be on. Also pc will keep moving away from SP games and move to soley mp or mmo games as thats where the money is which is a shame. 
Please don't suggest there's some sort of superior mentality that comes with your platform choice. Play WoW to see the PC's answer to XBox Live. The morons are everywhere, you are just being selective.

I think the answer hinges in part on whatever Microsoft decide to do with their future operating systems. We are at their mercy to some degree.
Very well put.
I hate it when people judge a person on what their gaming platform of choice is, it's a laughable attitude tbh.

I highly doubt PC gaming is going to vanish anytime soon. I mean, consoles have been out for more than a little while now.

because in 2012 the war between consoles and PCs will escalate to a global level and the PCs will nuke the planet off the face of the planet.

I think it will have died to the point that steam is the last remaining source of PC gaming.
I honestly couldn't care less which is on top in 10 years. As long as there's a platform for me to play on the games i like i will be using that platform/s. What is a problem is if gaming genres start to fade out. I would cry if there were no rts games, starcraft and korea will make sure that wont happen (nuclear war excluded).
Currently i probably prefer my xbox, play it more than my pc... untill arma2 come out.

Moron was a bad choice of words tbh, what I mean is that they are not very well educated on the history of gaming.. Tose that think Halo was the first ever DM game, and FF was the first ever rpg etc.

it always makes me laugh when i see people saying stuff like "well i only know 1 person that plays PC games the rest all play console" as if their personal experience is somehow an accurate representation of the global computer games economy.
i'm not slating anyone who has done this as often its in response to an opposition argument using the same point - but it really is a pointless argument.
Its like someone who lives in Newcastle saying - All my friends support Newcastle United and only one supports Man U therefore Newcastle have more fans in the world.
