Most gameplay on PCs is dead. Not all.
MMOs are about all that remains of casual gamers on PCs. (Notice I say about all, not all.)
FPS / RTS / Bout everything else is generally only played on PCs by hardcore gamers still.
Casual gamers tend to stick to consoles. Cheaper (relatively) and easier for most.
That is just the probleem people want easy games that don't need grey brainmatter to win
A example from a few years back .. Europa universalis II
It was a great game and on difficult average it was even hard , and sometimes very frustrating because of the special historical events that tended to screw up your long term plans
Thenext EU III did away with those events and even on hard i thought it wasn't much of a challenge except the AI cheating so blatantly( sp)
and what about flight sims
seen any good ones on consoles , not me they all more of arcade game than a real flightsim
aslong there are people who want a challenge small independent companies will make pc games

...stuff...
I agree there.
Though I do have to say, some of the flight sims are ridiculous. (Which is sort of good[By ridiculous I mean ALL keys have a binding, on top of that, all keys with ctrl pressed have a different binding, and to top it off, most keys with shift pressed had yet another binding.])
----Basically everything after this is unrelated----
And also (basically unrelated and completely opposite of what you said), Supreme Commander 2, when it came out, I could play a match, just me, against 7 enemies with the difficulty maxed and win. (Provided nukes and aircraft were restricted [Restricted meaning no one could use them, not even myself]) And then they released DLC which had an AI upgrade, now every time I play against 1 enemy with difficulty "hard" (there are 3 difficulties above hard, 2 or 3 below), it always turns into a stalemate. They make such a good defence that no offence can break it and I do the same. (This is once again with nukes/air units off, they make the game less fun.)
My main problem with todays gaming idustry is that there hardly companies any more that will spend money and time on a good ai, , graphics and simplicity seems to be the way these days
Alot of games on console are basicly dumb and 9 put of 10 if you know how. It is scripted you win every time
Mind you i am talking about soloplay here,
That is why so many pultiplayers are just perfect for consoles , but they not my sort of games ,
Mmo s are a different type of games
Back game AI
I can understand the driving force behind it thou, romans used to call it panem et cirences ( sp)
Bread and games
Why would you after a hard day of work spend you time calculting the logistics and fuell needed to invade a pacific island in late 43 while you can shoot pixels with some WWII fps game
Owell enough ranting. Either i am turning into a grumpy old man or did i miss something while i was playing eve
Just think it is a shame that simplicity is winning theqe days
