Last I checked downloaded games on PC were booming, RTS and TBS games like Star Craft and Civilization are selling like hotcakes and companies like TellTale have made quite a name for themselves revitalizing the graphical adventure market. Don't even get me started on PopCap and its ilk. Now add the MMOs, FPSs and Sims clones mentioned in a previous post. People keep screaming that PC gaming is dead but I just don't see it. Games still sell well, gaming PCs still sell well, what are they measuring this "death" by? Because of iPhone apps? Console sales? Just cause your market share "shrinks" because the market as a whole passes a tipping point doesn't mean you're doomed. Consoles and portables outsell PC games now, but PC sales are stronger then they have ever been. Just because they haven't kept pace with a market that is booming doesn't mean its the end of the world
