I don't think that PC gaming is in crisis. It's originality and
playabiliti in games. What's new with Quake IV and Doom 3. What's new
with any FPS- it is sam egame with new graphic all the way. RTS too.
Take and play Warcraft 2 --> rest is variations (ok ok and c&c).

In rpg field Diablo (devil) side won and we play action rpg's online.
But how long. I played Guild Wars because it was good. Really good
gameplay and look. But I won't play next 10. Pple will tire on online
games which will be dead in 5 years and nobody will take dusty box to
play again.

There is no boxes anymore. I just played Fanasy General fom 1996 or
something. Grat Graphics, great gameplay, i enjojed gratly - so much
that shiny new extension to Warhammer 40000 remained uninstalled.
