Shio! Where the hell have you been!!! Great to have you back, PC gaming is having a major resurgence!


Eh, I think you'd find PC always had the most developers working on it.


I know, but PC gaming has grown over the past five years or so, both in support and revenue! I believe this is partly due to high development costs on PS360 and partly due to saturation to some extent due to the generation being unusually long.

I'd also consider the effects of steam sort of gathering a lot of indie stuff in one place/having a legitamite storefront for games that would otherwise just be selling them from their webpage.


No doubt, I don't think people fully appreciate the extent of the good Valve Corp. have done for gaming and the industry in general. Some of my most memorable titles in the last 6-7 years have been Indie titles, I feel sorry for those who simply dismiss this whole market segment as useless and lacking in quality.

The Greenlight system is coming into its own now, and it's certainly head and shoulders above the unsocial weighting systems on Andriod/iOS stores and presents an array of software with vastly superior qualities than most fare on those platforms.
I am optimistic about PC gaming today, it has improved again after the early 7th gen slump when everything was dumbed down and little else was offered for some time.
