PC games are an entry point for people to break into the electronic entertainment industry. It is essential part of the ecosystem. It won't go away, because too many people have PCs. As for myself, I am a person who grew tired of the whole upgrade and deal with the PC gaming headaches. There are others out there, an increasing number of people actually. I also witnessed the types of games available on PCs declined. Console gaming was just easier. In the case of most people, they normally don't read forums like this and post, so they aren't heard off. It is very likely the end of my PC gaming days came when I could no longer return games that didn't work, to Electronic Boutique (after Gamestop took them over). |
Eh... there's a lot to be said for patience.
For example, take Fable (the lost chapters). Totally mediocre game. I hated aging. I hated scarring. I hated quite a few parts of it in fact. Were it on a console, I would have to deal with it. However, it's on a PC. Pop open the files for it, remove a few less pleasant ones and poof... no more aging, no more scarring, and I added a few fun things too.
How about Jade Empire (<3 Bioware). The PC version gets extra styles the Xbox version didn't. Even better, a mod I have for it gives 4 more styles that were in the game but never designated for player-use. For the finale, I decided I wanted to play with an NPC model. I hacked the files myself and changed my character to one of the NPCs.
Oh and I just made a new thread about a total conversion mod of Diablo II that totally redoes every character and most enemies.
PC games give me the freedom to do whatever I want with them. It's absolutely wonderful.
