Do you believe PC Gaming is dying?

A lot of people are still playing games on their PC's, yes. Do publishers make a lot of money on PC gaming nowadays though? Nope.

Consoles have taken over the gaming torch from the PC some time ago. I'm pretty sure that will never change.

Do you realize all companies making console games, except Nintendo, are getting sodomized financially? Meanwhile you have companies like Valve, and Blizzard  on the PC which perform magnificently. WoW probably accounts for half of Activision-Blizzard's income period, not to mention all the other Blizzard games are making them. The PC single-handedly kept Activision on top last quarter and without it they would have been majorly fucked.

Furthermore, 2 weeks after L4D2 came out Valve themselves said they had sold over 2 million copies, since it's Valve I'm sure that includes digital sales. Big surprise, the 360 version was at only 900k at the time.

So if anything the PC is the only profitable and viable platform still out on the market today, not the consoles, unless you are Nintendo.
