PC Gaming is dead!

Yeah, like I said before, anyone who says this can safely be disregarded, as they are either a blithering idiot that mindlessly repeats whatever the internet tells them or they have a serious problem with cognitive thinking. PC gaming is going to be thriving for as long as PC's exist, plain and simple. I'm not talking about flash games and bejeweled clones, either. Yes, PC gaming has lost market shares and revenue to consoles. Yes, major developers like Epic have ditched their PC roots for consoles. Yes, many bigger budget titles are being developed cross platform. Many people bemoan this as the decline of PC games, I see it as a good thing. That's right, large developers leaving the PC platform is good. You see, when all the companies who are chasing the dollars of the mainstream have left, that leaves the companies who make games because, you know, they like to make games. Stardock, Valve, TaleWorlds, Zero-Point software, 3000 Ad; all these companies are based around creating games that they want to play, and getting funding from other people who enjoy those types of games. It's no coincidence that all these companies are self-published - so the business decisions are being made by people who actually know the business, and not a bunch of suits obsessed with fellating shareholders. I can't stand Darek Smart's games. They're clunky, obtuse, buggy as hell, and visually unappealing. Yet I think it's awesome that he can continue to fund and produce games that he enjoys, because other people enjoy his games enough to finance them. Now, these markets have always been there, and they would thrive even without consoles drawing away the money chasers. Still, the fact remains that games are an expensive media, and large publishers have more marketing dollars than anyone else, meaning that many great titles have been lost in a sea of dog turds. Now, most of the dog turds are going to the consoles, giving smaller developers some breathing room. So now, PC gaming isn't dying. It's losing alot of fat. Just like in people, this weight loss means a happier, healthier industry.
