So what? It's probably going to be just Valve's counterpart to Call of Duty.
1.6 was the last good Counter-Strike, it ain't going to get better with the new
one, I can bet some of my vital organs for that.

Yea, but they're 11, so they dont quite think like a smart consumer. they want the big 1000 dollar computer (that isnt that good in the first place) at best buy to play starcraft II so he can complain and use dirty tactics to gloat over the internet. There certainly are much less annoying little kids in most PC gaming. Because PC gaming is more expensive initially. And because the average parent is, for the most part, clueless on how computers work and what to look for, they tend to have to buy prebuilt expensive computers, which most dont want to do.

So the kid ends up buying a console, which is cheaper. Good. I frankly dont want them screaming in my ear.

More hyperbole. PC gaming is not going anywhere and frankly, I don't see what is so bad about consoles. I don't have one but have played some friend's consoles and really enjoy some of the games on them. I might get one at one point, though that is low on my priority list of "toys" atm, my gaming needs are filled now by my pc and iphone.

Again there will always be a market for complex sims which work really well on PC, but it will always be a niche one. Just like there have been plenty of silly or dud games for PC as well.
