You left out the fact that many once pc centric genres are now on consoles. You made it sound as if it was a one way shift with only the pc getting new genres it never had. Also remember during those console golden days the only way to play online shooters was on pc. Both consoles and pc's are far better experiences than they used to be.

And during that time there were many great pc games that never made it to console or the console got severely gimped versions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Battlefield, CoD, System Shock, Far Cry, Crysis were all originally pc only and now the sequels are all on consoles as well. Everquest Next, Elder Scrolls Online, Planetside 2 and Diablo 3 going to console are even further signs of this going both ways.

Your query to the mods on the lounge thread about flagging gave you away. Butthurt banned would be a more descriptive name.

The PS 4 broke sales records and the 3 consoles are on track to sell as many consoles if not more than any other generation. Console games still sell best with GTA V breaking entertainment records and Destiny breaking new ip sales records. On top of that the PS 4 is being sold above cost.

Flagging is typically the action of the butthurt who can't handle opposition. Rarely is it used for it's intended purpose. If it was, this account would have had several strikes by now.

Lol! Try 10% of the entire gaming market. In fact, in 2013 casual webgames made more money than pc boxed/donwloaded games which are basically any game on dvd, steam and origin that's not an mmo.

Where did I say they didn't develop their games. I was pointing out the folly of comparing a pub/dev vs an individual game studio.

And? As I said before, a proper comparison would be with another publisher. Would you like to compare Blizzard to Ubisoft, Activison or Warner?

Where did I mention skill? I don't think I can endure the boredom of the early parts of WoW to get to the challenging parts.

When I played the Diablo 3 free trial I simply clicked on an enemy and the character starts attacking. You speak as if it controls like an action rpg ala Elder Scrolls or The Witcher yet it controls like a strategy game on pc. At least the console versions allows proper movement. I'm not a fan of mouse based movement in an rpg.
