It does happen
Robin Williams 'recycles' other people's jokes. The people he steals from don't seem to mind much, maybe because he does it better than Mencia.
This is exactly what happened to me about two years ago now. One too many cycle of "I need this beta video driver to play game X, but game Y won't load with it" and "I have two hours to play a game, why am I spending an hour updating my OS, my video drivers, and my game?" Not to mention the various "WTF, this plays smooth on the original XBox, why is my P4/Radeon x1600 system struggling?!" types of hardware upgrade treadmill issues.
On my consoles, I pop the game in and it goes, nothing to it.
Ironically, gaming was the only thing keeping my on XP at home, too; my wife and I are using Mac laptops now instead. So, PC gaming's target audience shrank a bit, and so did the Windows "ecosystem".
Even if you're not ready/willing to drop Windows as your "doing things" OS, there's hardly any reason to play games on it anymore. So much more comfy playing on my couch infront of the 1080p monitor than at my desk.
I've bought several games for Mac OS X, too, but nothing for the PC since BioShock was released.
