This isn't a PC gaming is dying thread btw, I am a pc gamer myself but I just find the lack of exclusives or games that take advantage of a PC lacking.
most pc games these days by the big companies are all multiplat, sure PC gets the best version depending on your hardware but still.
sure PC gamers get indie titles, MMOs and F2P games in abundance.
apart from certain games like Cities skyline that would be near impossible with a controller, we are not seeing a lot of big games no more.
Apart from Grey Goo when was the last time a decent even semi big RTS was released? I can't think of one, and GG wasn't exactly a big release either.
However, we are seeing a lot of crowd funded PC only games, such as Pillars, Elite and dare I say star citizen. Why should PC gamers have to fund their own gamers, we know pc gamers will buy games, especially good ones, pillars and elite seem to be very well liked, I have not played either yet. Diablo 3 sold record numbers with its PC launch so what is the problem?
It also makes upgrading your rig less of a priority, like I said sure you can get the best looking version of GTA and yeah mod it, scale it up 4k or whatever you do, but these multiplats are not exactly pushing PC either.
On a final note, how often do these multiplats run like shit on PC to? I remember DMC and a few other games off the top of my head being good ports. It seems PC games have to settle for multiplats to an extent and not always getting a great port either.
