In case you haven't noticed, after the big bucks companies declared PC gaming dead several years ago, PC gaming is making a stealth comeback. Just this month Steam announced it had 67 million monthly users, compared to Xbox Live's 53 million announced for the last quarter. That's 29% more users for just Steam than Xbox live.
The smart game companies better not ignore us. PC games play better too. Although PC and console gamers can play together on Counterstrike Global Offensive online, the PC players dominate the console monkeys completely. The PC is just a superior gaming device.
And you can play hundreds of Steam games on Linux, another tremendous advantage. Consoles make no economic sense and they are crippled PCs anyway. Game companies need to take good care of the place where their future lies: PCs.
