Services like Steam and Good Old Games make the greatest titles available ”at your fingertips, and cheap, too.” It’s our very own ‘Netflix’.
”I don’t play games on PC much. I mostly game on my Xbox 360, occasionally on PS3, and some iPhone, too,” blogged Cheng, reports VideoGamer.com. He says the whole ‘PC is doomed’ argument is nothing new, and simply becomes the ‘in thing’ to say.
”Every now and then, you’ll see an email thread about how PC games is doomed, dying, dead, obsolete, etc… Predicting the death of PC gaming is like bell bottoms. Every few years, it becomes fashionable to cry that PC gaming is over.”
”I don’t think PC gaming is ever going to go away. Tastes change. Trends come and go. Thanks to services like Steam and Good Old Games, what a great time to be a PC gamer!” continued the Oblivion and Fallout 3 developer.
”Imagine the greatest games ever created, all at your fingertips, and cheap, too. Its like being a film buff and having Netflix stream every Oscar winning film - no waiting, just pick the one you want to watch.” Steam has done a lot to promote the PC game scene.
Good Old Games focus on the classic titles from PC’s past and helps get them up and running for today’s modern hardware and operating systems. It’s expected that the PC market will grow this year by hardware sales going up 30 percent, if last November’s prediction from Jon Peddie Research holds true.
