PC gaming will NEVER die. All the proof here.

never say never, because even if you feel so sure about something and have heavy proof, you just dont know what can happen

still pc gaming is far from dieng

I don't see how any console fanbot can sensibly respond to this...

Congratulations on such a great post! :)

Maybe its dying because nobody embrasses new games?

PC gaming developers dont make money from people playing their games...

even though i love pc games, especially starcraft and warcraft, doesnt the information u posted suggest opposite of what you are saying. it seems that besides world of warcraft, the only games that are being played are old games, meaning no new ones are that good any more. but then again i dont know how many people play new ones, which i think suck lol

Is that the reason that COD4 is one of the most popular shooters on the PC right now? :roll:

you obviously didnt understood, microsofts 1st party online pc system sucks ass, and it forces you to pay to play gems like crysis, gears etc.

dont get me wrong.I invested in a heavy harware pc myself.but Im very dissapointed with the lack of interest developers show for old harware.they always expect the gamer to update and its just not worth it sometimes. Great_Ragnarok

I wouldn't entirely agree with that - my PC was last upgraded back in 2005 - it wasn't even a fantastic PC back then - and I've never had any trouble playing any of the new games I buy (and I buy games every few weeks).

Sure, I can't run some games at max settings, but at least I can play them on decent settings without having spent any money on my PC 'this gen'.

Ok guys I have found something more rediculous than wok7's comment about PC not being HD, put this in your sigs!

The question you need to ask is if PC gaming dies then what will happen to gaming.

See if you are a brand new dev, you get experiance from modding games, and not everyone can afford the certification to develop on a console.

plus with no money been made from nvidia, intel and amd on high end products the consoles will suffer big time next generation.

It will die out in 5 years or so.XenogearsMaster

That was said well over 15 years ago :lol:

It will die out in 5 years or so.XenogearsMaster

Ah, I was wondering why my troll detector was going off...

[QUOTE="darklord888"]Why? Because PC games last a LOT longer than console games.

- Starcraft is 10 years old still heaps of people play it and is national sport in South Korea.
- CS 1.6 is 5 years old(first version is 9 years) and tons of people still play it.
- Warcraft 3 is 5 years old and just the other night over 65,000 people were on. That wasn't even a weekend.
- Diablo 2 is 8 years old and still has heaps of people playing.
- Sims 2 has sold 13 million copies and it's expansions are still in the top 10 charts in many countries.
- Battlefield 1942 is 6 years old and still has dozens of full servers all the time.


So even with games like WoW selling over 11 Million and many others(Crysis, The Witcher ect) selling well over a million these games which are years old, some even a a decade or nearing it are still being played like crazy and have more players on than most Wii, PS3 and 360 games.

You say PC gaming is dying but what about consoles? How many people play TF2 online? How many games are pretty much dead online? Most? It's because with consoles they move to each new game. Gears of war is released and everyone plays it, Halo 3 is released and everyone plays it leaving GeoW with about 10% of what it had. CoD4 is released and is now beating Halo 3 in the most players online. What's next? GTA4? Will never one flock online to that next?

How many Xbox games have huge numbers of people after 10 years? Oh that's right there WAS no Xbox 10 years ago! So please explain how it'll die? Will those 65,000 Wc3 players just go "Hmm you know I think I'd rather play a generic online shooter instead. Lets gets Halo 3! Yeah!". Yeah I doubt it. :roll:

Now with games like The Witcher, Sins Of Solar Empire, Stalker: Clear Sky, Dawn of War 2(Million+ seller), Starcraft 2(Million+ seller), The Sims 3(Million+ seller), WoW: Wrath of the Lich King(Million+ seller), Warhammer Online, Dragon Age and tons of other exclusives just released or coming out within a year PLUS all the multiplats like CoD4(Million+ seller), The Orange Box(Million+ seller), Kane's Wrath, Mass Effect, GTA4, Red Alert 3 and more.

Oh bu...but it costs t3h $2000 a week! I heard that lastest patch for starcraft needs 2 9800's to run it at 640x480! And The Sims 3 will need more power than Crysis too! I mean now Crysis is out everyone single game needs the same specs right?

Wait I get it now. It isn't the money it's the developers SAYING PC is dying? But what about those developers who say it's going great? And their games are selling great on PC? Or games like Sins of a solar empire which has NO copy protection selling well? Where are the pirates for that game? Why didn't it bomb in sales from the easy piracy? Hmm, strange and here I thought PC was dead from piracy. 1nverted

Every game in your list except the Sims is only popular due to the online community. I'm sure those titles would be long forgotten if there wasn't any multiplayer component. The 360, PS3 and Wii are the first consoles to offer serious online functionality so for all we know, in 10 years people might still be playing CoD4 online using backwards compatiblity.

Also, don't forget that Xbox cla ssics and Arcade remakes of old console games are selling like hotcakes on the Marketplace. Just look at the support around getting Goldenye ported to the 360, that's even OLDER than Starcraft!

CoD4? doubtful, the reason most PC games are still played to death is mods, something the consoles dont offer really.

Arcade games? I've been playing "Arcade" games online for the last ... god knows how many years, and on College computers LAN.

But you could argue that PC has no new games worth playing online, that's why people still play old games.Supafly1

-_- ... are you being serious? that means the consoles dont either ... seeing as, most of the higher online games are multiplat ... CoD4?

UT3 , CoD 4 , Crysis , Quake Wars Enemy Territory , Team Fortress 2 ect ...

Now, lets face reality, its because those older games are great, have huge mod support, AND THERE ARE MORE PC GAMERS!.

I don't have Crysis but how many people play it online or how many people play UT 3?

I dont know about Crysis, not alot , UT3 not alot, but that was a rehash.

Team Fortress 2 on the otehr hand is doing excellent, as is CoD4.

Sure you argue Halo 3 & CoD4 on 360 ... but erm ... Gears of War playerbase as dwindled, along with Rainbow Six Vegas 1 & PErfect Dark .. and whatever other online shooters ... GRAW.
