I hope its not as bad as you say. im going to give it a go and see.

I dont understand why M$ played the PC game business so poorly and by extension everyone else. Basically IMHO highquality gaming is the only thing that PCs do well that is not done better elsewhere. If it were not for gaming why else buy a super quad core cpu unless you are designing aircraft or running an F1 team. My spreadsheet and word processing programs have been doing the same thing since 1995, just fine thank you.

Heck ATI and nVidia ought to be investing in PC game development since that is about the only reason to buy their mass market products. As for consoles, I've been there done that and I felt like I spent alot of money just to play Madden football with friends (no disrespect to Madden) An afternoon with a Playstation gets boring pretty quick for me. A weekend with my gaming rig is never enough time.

I hope DRM dosnt kill PC gaming, its one of my favorite hobbies. Maybe the industry should take a page from Ray Kroc founder of the McDonnalds franchise system: give away the burgers and fries and sell the soda.
