Being a console gamer, I would normally have no goat in this debate.
However, being a somewhat knowledgeable computer Salesman, I have this to say: PC gamers spend a lot of money as it is. I've never seen a group of people so nonchalantly shrug a $1300 laptop for the $1800 laptop. I've never witnessed a niche of gamers who are willing to spend an amount of money that was obscene and insulting to charge for an entire console wielding two new types of technology (comparing the GTX980 to the PS3 and its CellBlu-ray double whammy).
PC gamers will spend ridiculous amounts of money on their hardware for one main reason: because they can get away with not spending jack on games. Between piracy and steam sales, PC gamers spend less on actual games than they do on being nickel and dimed (Somebody say LoL?). So when you start up a service asking for them to pay for content that they very recently got for free... Well, you've no one to blame but yourself. Praise Gaben, amirite?
