PC gaming

PC gaming has been dead since the 2000s, it's been on the decline for over a decade now. Console exclusives dominate, eventually there will be no such thing as PC gaming. Steam is making sure of that.

nothing, it's literally growing steadily.

pee pee poo poo haha

As usual, casuals. Any market that becomes relatively mainstream will peak in quality and then rapidly decline as the product or service is keelhauled against capitalism's jagged hull to strip its essence to the point it is palatable for the masses.

GUYS WHAT KILLED CONSOLE GAMING

>ignoring how little PC had at the start how much more it will die

PC gaming requires a higher investment to get into and maintain.
You buy a console once every generation. Well used to, now you wait halfway through a generation and then get the enhanced version.

yeah, and in the gaming industry steady growth is basically recession, because it is not explosive and untenable growth, the only development that is acceptable.

For gaming I'd rather have a console and play on my 4k 65" TV than spend hours trying to even make the game playable.

This is your brain on consoles. Not that you directly believe this, but most people do. Which is kinda fucked up. Just how share holders want it. Divide and conquer is good if it lets you squeeze the loyal for every nickle and dime they have. In a way platform wars are very profitable, and might actually be bad for these parasites should they come to an end.

>error
lol
>download a DLL.EXE
>install the virus
>more crashing

I actually wish this were true because an idiot like you wouldn't be here with your bricked potato.

nothing, the growing marketshare of consumers are made of mobile based gamers. The markets of other platforms are still as robust. Stop being scared by statistics.

There's almost no change in PC and console popularity. Mobile has exploded because it's for normies who don't actually play games. The two categories aren't even remotely related.

it's still growing though. but no one can keep up with mobile games since they have basically 100% install base.

People won't believe me but it was Graphics cards.

That was the beginning of PC gaming becoming fragmented. Suddenly overnight you couldn't play alot of the new or upcoming releases on your toaster. As PC gaming got more complicated it got more expensive requiring a hire price for entry level. Dont forget all those poor suckers that got scammed by those shit prebuilts that they shelled out like 1500 dollars for that were out dated the moment they dropped. Remember all those people pissed that they got burned. No to mention that alot of kids only PC are laptops so they are fucked off the bat.

Also to make matters worse developers started targeting GC that didnt even release yet. You couldn't enjoy all the features of a game you paid for. MOre powerful hardware also meant developers could be lazy. No need to optimize a stronger GC will come along and run it all just fine.

Thats why people turned to consoles. No need to keep up to get the best quality. No need to worry about developers targeting better hardware.

in the end PC gaming just fragmented and left a lot of people behind.

But PC is outselling consoles?

This doesn't remotely imply PC is outselling consoles.

ITT: People incapable of critical thinking.
Traditional gaming on both PC and consoles is growing steadily. Mobile is a completely new and completely unrelated market.

PC gaming is ded.

Then consoles must be already a distant memory since no single console earns anywhere close to PC.
Hilarious how consolefags fight each other at every step, but when going against PC they're suddenly adding all their numbers together.

>Then consoles must be already a distant memory since no single console earns anywhere close to PC.

Uhh....

Console sales combined is the same as Epic/steam/gog sales combined.

It only matter to retards who think the system they're using matters. In other words poor fags.

Difference is epic/steam/gog themselves are all free on same one machine.
Maybe it matters to you and maybe not, but it's a FACT that PC is the biggest platform for traditional gaming.

I will be sitting comfortably on my couch with my tendies in 2025 while PC gamers struggle to find other people to play Overwatch with because they all switched to consoles.

FPBP

>all free on same one machine.
I'll concede the point towards you but also throw out that the majority of PC players are so retarded they couldn't download a free trial of winrar without getting a copywrite strike from their ISP.

I stopped playing Overwatch years ago because I had many much better games to play.

>resident evil 4
I heard the remaster was shit, is it true ?
the original is still decent on the wii U gamepad, and I'm afraid shitty texture (even with good resolution) on my big ass TV

Piracy killed triple A development on Pc and now they all it gets are console ports and indies all the super popular games are online only rainbow6 csgo etc. Also the mobile market will eventually kill everything anyway

Mobile propaganda, fuck chinks.

I like how most of that mobile income is from abusing mentally ill people who have no self control when it comes to gambling.

bad b8

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>revenue
PC is """killed""" because you don't have to pay for your internet connection that you're already paying for..

No, it comes from the fact that audience for PC/console is "people who like games", while audience for mobile is "everyone with a pulse"

>Also the mobile market will eventually kill everything anyway

you faggots said this a decade ago

nothing? PC gaming is still doing just fine according to your growth rates graph.

I have a pretty decent PC and a 144hz monitor but I would be lying if I said I use it for anything but console ports and emulation. That's just what PC gaming is now. And normalfags don't give a shit and will not be paying $1000+ to play the same games they can play for $300 with an Xbone or PS4.

That graph shows that PC gaming grew more than console gaming, though? ~8.3 billion to console's ~8.1 billion. So more like "what killed console gaming", even if that too is inaccurate.

>Piracy killed triple A development on Pc
lol this is just totally false. AAA kept consolidating and growing bigger and bigger to the point where the PC market could no longer meet the sales demands these companies needed so they had to bleed over into multi-platforming with PC. And console porting is a nice way of saying console baby specs.

Been a PC gamer since the 90's, I've tried console many times especially during the 7th gen when I was broke af and I only had a Pentium 4. I absolutely hate the console experience, it's not for me and it will never be.

>mobile is the biggest market
Projection discarded

You're mixing up an enthusiast always wanting the absolute best and someone just wanting a modestly better than console experience.

pc literally sells less game copies than xbone. graph is fake and probably overestimating indieshit and subscription games like wow, club penguin, etc

Sure showed us with your random image of decade old games!

That's not true at all. In some cases PC version outsells even the PS4 version let alone Xboner.

Nope, 100% right.

Are mobile games still even a thing? I havn't seen a similar phenomena to Candy Crush, Angry Birds, Pokemon Go or Clash of Clans in years it seems. Nobody talks about mobile games like they used to. I don't see people idly playing mobile games at work or in public areas. It really feels like people have gotten their fill of freemium games purporting to be 'free' but then charging out the ass for pay-to-win microtransactions.

mobile gaming = not gaming

If all you play is console games and emulation I'm sad to announce to you that you're one of those normalfags.

And especially Nintendo players cream themselves over those every time.

Xbone is now more dead than ever while Steam is bigger than ever. So things are even worse for your shitskin shitbox right now. Especially because console games sales die in a week. DS3 alone is now tripled in owners steamspy.com/app/374320 while nobody even knows about the Xboner version.

the fact that its a platform for 12 year olds playing their favorite mobas, csgo, early access garbage, BR and indies which their favorite streamer play. Just look at the absolute state of steam most played charts. That 37% in 2012 were actually games not like the absolute garbage that is the 19% now. Not even talking about pc gaming 10 years ago when it was actually still alive and actually got good exclusives that werent just indie garbage.

>only 12 million
Proof pc is dead

18.5 people isn't millions, that's 18 people and half of a person. What the fuck are you think you're reading?

You guys realize that 19% of $180B is more than 37% of $70B, right? The market is still growing, that's a good sign.
Just because mobileniggers entered the scene and make a hell of a lot more money doesn't mean you're magically doing worse now.

3, compare that to the amount of console exclusives coming up.

Pcs became more and more complex so they need to use majority of their processing power on other stuff than gaming but consoles can use 99% of their power on games, thus you get same or better performance on consoles for a fraction of the cost

Freemium is a good pleb filter at least and the pc market shrinking relatively means less garbage shovel ware now that steam is Imploding is a good thing

You say that as if a 486 wasn't expensive as shit in its day. Graphics cards lowered the price of entry for PC gaming because you no longer needed an absolutely insane CPU to play games at decent framerates and a Vodoo II was $250 for the 8 meg version($300 for 16).
Compare that to like a thousand bucks for a 33Mhz i486, though that did eventually drop to "only" 650ish for the later 50Mhz version.
