It has been said that the PC gaming scene has been suffering for some time ever since consoles "took over". This is my opinion on this topic, explaining reasons why PC gamers should NOT be worried. Better times are coming.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I was a console only gamer for over twenty years until I bought my first gaming rig this year and so far I love PC gaming. After playing games like Crysis on full settings and some multi plats that look far better then the console version. I'll finally admit consoles have nothing on a high end PC. I have noticed since I got a PC its like it used to be where the PC used to to have some awesome exclusives that aren't on consoles, it seems now that I have one all the games I want to play I could play on a console. That is with the exception of RTS and MMO's.
I don't think PC gaming is dying, but its not doing anything to make itself stand apart from console gaming at the moment like it used to.
No. PC gaming will live on forever.
Is PC still getting exclusive games? Yep.
Is PC still getting all the good multiplat games? Yep.
Are some PC games still pushing the limits of modern graphics technology? Yep.
Did Steam, which only accounts for about 60% of the digital distribution market just hit 30 million users? Yep.
Did AMD sell 25 million DX11 GPU's in the span of one year? Yep.
Is PC gaming dying? Nope.
Looking at the headline, I thought "Oh joy. Another 'PC is dying' bullcrap". But now I see that it's quite different, and I like it.
Anyway, yes, better times are coming for PC gamers. And I believe 2011/2012 will be quite revolutionary for the platform.
Nice facts there Pandamobile :-)
I too believe PC will always prevail no matter what happens.
I had another thing to put into the article regarding Windows 8, and its simplicity and how it will sort of constrain users from having such freedom.But I believe even then, PC still will be the choice for gaming for many.
