I've always wondered what people meant when they say "PC gaming is dead." Dead? Was it ever alive? For the past 10 years the PC gaming market has always been lackluster with a handful of buy-worthy games coming out. Sales may be marginal compared to consoles, but the amount of quality games has definitely not slowed down (maybe some genres are lacking recently, but overall quantity of good games is up I think). Look at 2007, year of the FPS. Plus Supreme Commander, Company of Heroes, and World in Conflict have came out recently and showed that RTS is anything but dead. The only genre that I see lacking is the RPG market and the PC market has always seen 1 or 2 good RPGs per year at most.
PC gaming isn't dead, I think it's simply consoles going way up.
