It's about games like this. Not super graphical masterpieces like crysis, not hardcore arcane stratagy games that only a major in military tactics can understand. It's about cool little games made by one or two people who make games that surpass anything, including Wii games in innovation. Where the PC really shines is not these big huge AAA games, it's all of these tiny ones that show the PC is a well that any person with a little bit of programing knowledge can express themselves and their enginous concepts without boundries of publishers telling them what to do. What the PC is, is about user expression, and that is something that with games even Little Big Planet (sony killing off your levels) cannot come close to what the PC offers in raw expression.

Mods and Half Life 2 DM (since for some reason it unfortunately wasn't released on the 360) are what PC gaming is really about for me.

I think PCgaming is imply about appealing to niche groups. It allows people to make games they truly want. I mean you might bash hardcore wargames, but many of them are actualy also made by 2-3 peoples. It simply allows people to satisfy their taste in entertaiment, both in playing and creating.

basicaly, it is the only place i have found compelling strategy games, and epic battles with thousands of troops under my command not to mention the simple entertainment of things like spore and sims

I stumbled onto this earlier today and just beat it. Awesome game - beautiful music and addicting puzzles. I was sad when the demo ended. I concede that the PC is the only place I'd find such a wonderful game...

the best thing about PC gaming is user-created content. That is what makes games like morrowind/Oblivion/Fallout 3, etc. shine

Clever game but I got bored around 2:5. Those are a nice addition to PC gaming but to me it's more about games like GalCiv2, you know, games that aren't super tiny browser games but aren't quite big enough to be on consoles either, they target more specific audiences and have to compromise less while still offering quality experiences.

I dunno. To me, PC gaming is more about something like iRacing... reproducing something complex with a great degree of precision and accuracy.

i agree that it is certainly the best way for aspiring game developers to get their stuff out there.
