Today's games are awesome, with the most intense graphics. But, and a "BIG BUT" it is!!!
How in the hell does the average working joe keep up with the latest graphics cards and all the other hardware needed for todays games???
I purchased an Alienware PC 4 years ago. Paid $2500 not including a monitor. It was the latest and greatest! I bought it right before PCI-E came out. Well, needless to say there went my Top of the line gaming system, it was yesterdays news and yesterdays technology.
I can not play any of the latest games any more. I will not go out and spend another $2500 or more every 4 years to keep up with the new graphics technology!
To me, that is the reason PC gaming may be dying. Many guys like me, dropped their wad on a big gamer. Was the big guy on the block for a short while. A very "short while" and just say now...."the hell with it". Rather take my family to Disney World for that much money.
Only Microsoft and the hardware companies can save PC gaming. But they would rather make their money through the consoles. To me, it's all about money, with the latest operating systems, latest graphics cards, ect..
If PC gaming was important to the big wigs, my system would still be on "bad ass block" but now, a 4 year old Alienware is like a 45 year old man..... slow, soft and weak!
