On PC BC is very important, and the issue is also more complex: while PC gaming has a lot of nice features, BC is becoming the only reason to keep doing PC gaming with Windows. Weren't for BC and its huge legacy, it would be better to drop that bloated and closed Windows and switch to a lightweight free OS, like SteamOS or other specialized Linux distros or Android. The situation could change if most new PC games will start having a Linux or Android version too, because on PC (and recently on consoles too), as a legacy game becomes older, its emulation becomes easier, this because its compatible SW-HW platform and its minimum and recommended HW requirements are frozen to the time of its release, so its acceptable emulation is just matter of time, to refine the emulator and to have enough HW power to run the emulation at the same speed or even better than on the original SW-HW platform.
