PC gaming is sure dying alright. Sells through digital distribution are just so horrible and don't even bring up the MMO market.
Instead of singing the same old tune why not try and put some more thought into it with some facts to back it up.
As for the game I get it. Companies always want to make more and more money. It's a new trend to stab PC gaming in the back after we help them become what they are. I guess losing your fan base for more money is acceptable.
You want to know what the problem is SaintJude? You supported the systems that invented mediocre and "tacked on" plots and gameplay. Before 360 and PS3 first person shooters were thought to not work on a console. But after a few became successful in sales everyone jumped on the band wagon and made any kind of shooter that popped into their mind while taking a dump.
How many games right now are FPS that use the Unreal engine 3? Even the 3rd person games like Gears of War are just FPS's without the first person aspect. You control and shoot the same way. So even 3rd person shooters, unless done right, can't differentiate from the stale FPS's coming out every minute.
Now PC's and any other gaming systems are not immune from this kind of mediocrity but the "next gen" consoles have been the biggest factor in embracing and mass producing of sub par quality games. Why? Because they sell. Why do they sell? Because even as we grow older and are tastes mature, there will always be more juvenile gamers who are blown away by the kind of games that do nothing new but bring tacked on plots and over used game play.
Until more companies up their quality standards, they will continue to sell only what sells and not what makes the industry grow as a whole.

I was being sarcastic.

Pretty sad considering how much Blizzard makes. Cheap asses.
