Several things here:
* I find it interesting how you get PC gamers on here arguing how Steam is the cure-all and a major reason why PC gaming rocks, when I remember years ago, you had PC gamers railing against it and saying how Steam is evil incarnate.  Yes, I go back to heavy PC gaming, and read usenet and forums there on PC gaming.

* Here is a question regarding PC gaming vs console gaming: Which is easier to just jump into and play?  Want to know why console gaming is seen as a superior experience for some?  That is why.

* Why is it, when I see a list of the most awesome PC games on the planet, by people on forums like this, they fall into a very narrow range?  I don't see the diversity as with consoles.  I see people hype FPS, and maybe some RPG stuff (Western) and maybe an MMO or RTS or maybe another title there.  As I see it, the diversity in the AAA category is smaller on PCs than consoles.


I was not one of them, I never had issues with how Steam worked, I saw the future of DD a long time ago because I knew bandwidth would increase 50-100fold down the road when Steam came out.

I also know a lot of people who are interested in PC gaming but think there is a learning curve and envy me, but I help them out and make them realize that it's a misconception, which is common, people need to be told, a lot of people don't even know how to use consoles which is probably hard to believe by what you are suggesting =P.

You are aware that there are a lot of console ports that we don't need to talk about or bring into the discussion right? If it's a good game on console, then it's prolly even more complete on PC, a no shit really. The amount of creativity and indie games on PC far outweights what the consoles can offer as well, I seldom come across pure PSN or XBL games I want to get(can't resist bomberman though, lol) which is not something I can say about PC indie games.
