Lately, there is a lot of false information being spread by certain
konsole kiddies, mainly xflop fanbitches, that PC gaming is somehow on
its last legs. The facts prove that FUD could not be further from the
truth. This document provides specific details about how PC gaming is
actually on the rise year to year:

Also, consider this. There are over 15 million Steam subscribers, all
PC gamers. There are over 8 million active World of Warcraft
subscribers, all PC gamers. There are also several other very
successful MMORPG, all PC gamers. The online membership of PC gamers
makes the console online presence pale in comparison. In actuality,
the console market is chasing after the success of PC online gaming,
trying to cash in.
