Re: The future of Gaming? PC or Console?

said by Ghastlyone:

If Steam/Origin were never concieved, do you think PC would be in as strong of a position as it is now?

Hell No.

If Steam/Origin/GOG had not come around, PCs would still be regarded (even moreso) as a vehicle for piracy by the usual suspects and would probably be neglected for games other than MMOs.

I think Steam deserves some serious kudos for creating a platform that really plays to the PC's strenghts.

Agreed. Though when the steam box hits, that may change. Though you do have gamefly [they offer a digital download service], and EA's Origin. As well as other publishers that allow you to buy directly from their web site.
