I cant offer anything but my anecdotal(not even sure if this is a word) experience but while I was still going crazzy for diablo back in 2003 and some other blizzard gems, wich I belive world of warcraft was killing in 2003, I only know of one other peson in high school who gamed on pc, everyone was to busy with their ps2 at the time.

To add my anecdotal evidence, late 90's we were playing duke nukem 3D, half-life deathmatch, quake and Unreal tournament in the office regularly at the end of the work day. During breaks discussing Might and Magic and other games with coworkers. We already played lan games in university and in the dorm rooms on our own network. And there was always talk about the next lan party

PC gaming was big already, although most games were pirated back then.
Lan party was code for free games :/

but playing the same games all the time isnt actually healthy for the game industry which this competive culture was and is still promoting tough
