Ignoring your points... most of which are silly...

The best reason?

Mods.

There are brilliant brilliant nerds who end up making Mods for a lot of games that greatly extend the time you get with games you love...

New scenarios... hell sometimes even new games to the point of where the modder likely put in as much effort as anyone on the original design team.

And they're free.

For some games you'll spend more time playing mods then the released games!

I know this is true. I remember when I played Oblivion without mods, and felt how horribly designed somethings were in the game. Then last summer I downloaded a few of the big ones like OOO,MMM, and a few others and the game feels almost perfect. Mods usually fix what is wrong with the games, and there are so many that you could pretty much make the game what you want it to be.

And don't forget that PC can't do HD!!!!

Correct, it just does Uber HD instead :P

Though since you can buy monitors marketed as HD with resolutions of 1920x1080 and they also include HDMI connectivity and since PC games can support that resolution, it leaves me scratching my head if somebody claims that.

I'd say this resolution thing is more geared towards TV markets since it doesn't really matter for running your PC games since all you have to do is choose resolutions that make the game look good or give you more frame rates and you're done.

Back to the OP,

In my opinion, those points are laughable.

 

Let me repeat it..

PC can't - do HD - gaming!

That and the Custom AI's back when that one site held the "AI wars".  All sorts of fun.

The blood scenario maps like Archers Blood, Holy Blood, Castle Blood, Paladin Blood, ect. They usually consisted of placing a unit on a special point where a whole bunch of those units would spawn in and you can use them to battle it out with other players while protecting your main building (where you instantly die when it's destroyed). Then once you get enough kills, other spawnable units would open up.

Yea, I did an AI war once. I pit a rushing AI vs a well structured AI. It looked like the rushing AI would win at first, but it's opponent was able to endure enough that the rushing AI eventually ran out of resources.
