It seems that the old 3d accellerated desktop single player type games for the PC are dying. Whats left really are online games, cheap games and games created out of other games and distributed for free (modding). Its not to say that the PC as a platform is dying but excessive piracy and escalating costs close some doors as other doors open.
Games like Fallout 3, Alan Wake and other single player driven blockbuster games only really exist now because of consoles. Look at the top 20 charts, they are dominated by older games which are cheaper and can run on any computer. Computers themselves aren't getting any faster in general, they are getting cheaper to meet the needs of your typical user. Gaming and general useage have gone their seperate ways, the ability to play 3d games no longer confers any real benefit to general computer useage, so playing games on the PC for most people isn't relatively free anymore because theres no need to keep an up to date PC for most people.
Tease.
