And here we come to the crux of the argument. I hear all these PC gamers whining and moaning about how console ruined everything and dumbed down their games. Well boo-fucking-hoo. Last time I checked, no one forced you to buy a PC and set it up to be a gaming machine. Last time I checked, you could see well ahead of time what was in the PC gaming pipeline and therefore make a decision on whether it offered you a good return on investment. I didn't buy an Xbox 360 expecting to be top of the line graphically for more than a short period of time; similarly, the writing on the wall's been there FOREVER.
Do I think that's cool? Hell no. I think PC games have suffered in certain areas, yes. But I'm not bitching about it, because that's what the market decided. If you want to change it, vote with your dollars, or set up your own game dev team and start coding the next huge PC only release that will light people's asses to buy PC hardware to run it and demand more like it.
I'm sorry to inform you of the obvious, but as soon as something goes mainstream (which gaming has done for years now), you're going to get a glut of money catering to the largest group out there. You. Are. A. Niche. Deal with it.
