Epic Games CEO says PC gaming is dying

Doesn\'t this argument come up every few years or so?  PC gaming will always have certain niche markets and it will always have people willing to shell out major money for those graphic hogging games.  Its clear though that consoles are going to have the majority of games, its just easier to make money on consoles.

Until a console gets a game like WoW, the PC has nothing to worry about.

not quite as desperatly

STALKER was in pretty bad shape with CTD\'s when they first released it

It\'s because everyone has different computers, and theres only one console

It might just be me, but most every new Xbox 360 game seems to be needing a patch sooner or later, mostly in order for MP to work properly. So it\'s definitely not just a PC thing.

And Phil it right, this argument is old. The PC industry was dying 10 years ago, yet there are 8 million WoW players and thousands of games released on PC every year.

PC gaming will never die.

that might be true, but installing a patch on the 360 is done almost automatically, you only have to choose yes when asked and it\'ll cost you ten seconds to wait for it to download. Not much of a hasle to me...

It might not be a hassle to you, but a patch is a patch. Regardless of the system.

To me, the problem with patches seems to be that they\'re inconvenient in that it requires you to actively search for it install it and hope for the best it will work and if not having to find a way around it. Console patches can hardly be called inconvenient...

Many games will automatically download the right patch, kinda like consoles. It\'s not a problem in my book.

If you\'re a lazy piece of shit, then yes... it\'s a problem. If you have testicles and a spine, then it really isn\'t an issue... you fuckin\' pansies.

yea, why download patches that resolve more issues when you can continue to play games with bugs (consoles and pcs) :rolleyes:

Steam fixes much of that (auto patch updating) if it\'s really an issue.  And like Sammy said, most modern games have an update option right in their menu.
