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 :/

Yeah, I don't get the notion that PC Gaming was niche in 2003. I don't even need anecdote. ;P

PC gaming wasn't really niche in 2003, but it certainly wasn't mainstream, consoles made gaming mainstream. (back then the only PC game I was playing was FFXI, and Mafia)
