Game stop has like no PC game's at all. Wall Mart Sells mostly MMO 's or Old PC games put together in bundles. The best places to buy PC games now are through Amazon or steam and all their sales combined don't come close to the amount of games that get pirated each year on just one torrent site.

How is it on life support? Who is giving the support?

I can point to consoles and say that right there, PS3/360 are on life support; with the evidence being the 1st party supplementing their exclusive line-up.

What do you point to on PC?

more like its got a few limbs missing, while i know pc gaming is far from dead, its audience is a bit more limited since certain genre's that were very very prevalent before are now being shared heavily with consoles. Not to mention big things don't happen on PC as much unless it involves WoW or Farmville

Big things as in what?

deus ex, unreal, baldurs gate, wingcommander I enjoy playing on the PC, but not as much stands out any more apart from strategy games, MMO's, and casual stuff, either most of the genre's have shrivaled up mostly sharing releases with consoles and consoles get the big polished games like halo/uncharted, or they are gone completely practically, where is my free space :(, PC is great but its not the king of every anymore, its got to share with consoles.

I think you need to look at the bigger picture.

Cross platform orientation is not a one way street, you cannot use it as evidence that PC is in trouble; without saying the same about consoles.

Your own lack of knowledge as to PC's line-up is also not evidence that "WoW and Farmville" are its only noteworthy games. I get the impression it takes a marketing budget for you to consider something noteworthy.

It sounds to me you are pushing the console business model onto PC, declaring it in trouble when it doesn't replicate it.

Services like Steam are going to help PC gaming grow, and be more profitable than consoles.
