Most games today are developed with consoles in mind with the PC as an afterthought. This is largely why they are dumbed down, with few options to tune the graphics, and more simplistic game design. They're appealing to the mass market console audience, which includes people who need their hands held and others with slow reaction times.

The money is with the mass market, so PC gaming while not dead I doubt will ever enjoy the hayday it once had. I don't really care since I don't really play many games anymore, but it is kind of sad to see how it has been watered down and co-opted by console gaming.

As for me, I used to play doom 2 on dwango, and RA2 online..and between those two I lost more of my life than I care to admit.
