@Shio - Until 2008 I was a PC gamer, the difference is I've seen all my friends leave the PC gaming scene to play something called MMORPG's. PC gaming is dead as far as I'm concerned until the next generation of consoles kick in so we get some real advances in technology. MW2 was the last straw for me and the nail in the coffin of PC gaming until someone realises they need to listen to the consumer. Bioshock and Mass Effect have, since release, always been more expensive on Steam, it's no surprise they've suddenly dropped in price now they want to sell the sequels. How much is Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2 compared to retail now?
The only games that kept me even slightly interested in gaming on my PC have been TF2, DoD:S, CS:S, L4D and COD:MW, can't see much on the horizon to change my mind at the moment and it's rather depressing. Shame I don;t like the MMORPG or RTS genre particularly or I'd be happy I guess.
I don't mind paying for Live because it's a far superior social network than Steam and as many features I enjoy using completely integrated (unlike Steam and it's associated platform) and can be used by anyone from a child to adult (fair enough if you disagree).
Sorry to not quote you but I couldn't be bothered cutting the quote tree up.
