How many new PC exclusive titles are AAA experiences with new IP's and single player focus? So, without sales trick(its good for short term but its going to make big impact on mentality of the consumers in the long run) they can't generate the money for develpers right?

How many non first party AAA new ip single player exclusive games are there on any one console? Unless a first party is footing the bill there are no AAA single player exclusives on any platform. If you are launching a AAA single player new IP you are going to want it on every platform you possibly can. And if you read my post you would know that all data available indicates that sales lead to long term increases in spending and revenue. The PC market has never been healthier and is generating more revenue than ever. Your personal opinion on the games is entirely irrelevent.

This might be off the point but I always cringe when seeing PC market since the majority of people only use Steam, with few exceptions. An indie who can't get on Steam is basically left in the dark unless they're an anomaly
