Why has PC gaming gone to complete shit? What killed it?

Be thankful you cant see stats like this on console, because it would probably all be FIFA or something.

The grand majority of people play shit games, its just the way it is.

I'm surprised GTAV is still played by that many people.

PC gaming died today when PUGB overtook the greatest two games of the decade. The plebs have no taste and need to be regulated.

>>388453120
God I'd love that. A whole new shitposting frontier.

A migration of console babbies killed it thanks to the "hurr durr master race" meme. They brought their willingness to eat shit and and pay for micro transactions at every turn with them, and now companies realise that they can get away with that shit on the pc too.

third worlders, yuropoors and australians

>>388454676
This. Liberals killed vidya.

GTAV is still going strong, I see.

in competetive games, it's all about getting to the top and being recognised

can't have any of that with no one playing the game

>>388455479
Because it's fun

Do you really want normal people to play your favorite game?
If it's popular, it's shit.
Your favorite game HAS to remain obscure, or else R*ddit will hear about it and *-celebs will play it.
You dont want to see your obscure game in this list, do you?

If PC gaming is shit, console gaming is rotten shit with vomit on top.

Except Nintendo, Nintendo's still good

>>388458147
But console actually has working games

>>388452987
>a good game is at the top of the charts
I see nothing wrong here

>>388458362
It's actually incredible because its 30 as opposed to all the F2P shit on that list.

>>388457686
Probably bait, but the fact that some people exist and think that seriously is sad.

>>388452987
Videogames being made by soulless corporate committees instead of passionate nerds is what killed pc gaming (gaming in general really)

>>388458147
>Nintendo
>good

Hah, name a single good game they've produced this gen. Just remember, if it's sold over a million copies, it's automatically a bad game because, as OP implies, all popular games are bad.

Companies realized it was stupidly easy to rip people off. Horse armor was where everything died.

Gone are the days of making a quality game, look at Valve. All they do is add a market for skins for other peoples game, then take a cut of everything sold. They're making millions a day for doing absolutely nothing.

PC gaming is better than its ever been though. People have shit taste, big deal.

I'm actually able to play games from genres I like on PC now, which was something I couldn't do just a few years ago.

>>388452987

If H1Z1 had half the effort put into it, it would've been more played than PUBG right now.

You interact with it, it has a lose condition, and it has a win condition. Its a game.

Also Danganronpa in particular is especially interactive as a VN. Its more comparable to Phoenix Wright than your typical VN.

The funny part is you don't know how right you are about this.

Are you underage or do you not know what a Doom wad is?

90% of new games coming out are Steam only

>>388452987
What are the top ten console games? I need a laugh

why does some retarded child on 4chan think he's qualified to give such a hyperbolic statement

Majority never dictates quality. Otherwise Shrek would be an objectively better movie than 2001 since it was more successfull.

i remember back in 2009 or so, halo 3 had about 100k players online since they actually showed stats while waiting in a lobby.

PC gaming is doing fine and in some regards better than ever. You have more choice than you had in decades before to play an insane amount of games every year but from them being so many most don't gain a large userbase - and they don't have to.

Man Evolve was gorgeous. A game that actually really flexed PC power and it was shunned because it wasn't a fucking moba and required immense skill.

>>388452987
Gaming in general is in a poor state right now, good games are few and far between.

>>388464179
>Evolve was gorgeous.
it really wasnt.
>required immense skill.
hide and seek is hardly skillful.
A competent team would win nearly every round.
You only won if they didnt stick together.

>>388452987
console converts brought their shit taste with them

I honestly don't remember that many people playing Grand Theft Auto V two years ago.

Logic Drive minigame in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.

In it you drive collecting letters on the road while avoiding incoming traffic to form a question, and then you pick up a person on the side of the road representing the answer to that question in order to complete the minigame.

Sure is, i live 80km from a capital city and have the choice between ADSL 1 for 100$ a month or patchy 3g mobile net which is faster but unreliabld at 50$ for 10gb of data. Fuck this joint sucks.

I used to remember Halo 3 getting about 400k a night.

There will never be a game as good as Halo 3 ever again
