PC games won’t ever be dead for me. They will have to pull my burning mouse and keyboard from my cooling fingers, and break the cable to disconnect me from my steaming server. The reason for this commotion is, someone points out the information that PC gaming is ?less? than console gaming. What exactly is that supposed to mean? PC gaming has a larger scope for modding that allows gamers to change the way they play. Gamers can make their own maps far easier than Console games. Digital downloading looks to be a promising future for PC gaming, so long as the pricing works. One thing generally not mentioned about the physical box and disk was the reassurance of back-up.

Some of us move against the current and predict the demise not of PC gaming, but of game consoles. The main point consoles are so repetitively marketed is that fighting piracy is the only reason for their present existence, and explains how the convergence of the GPU and the CPU is the next big thing in the gaming industry.
