Why Is Pc Gaming Dying?[/b]

Because of 3 basic things which cover everything else that's going to follow after them:
1. We had too many games. We know too many examples of games. It's more and more difficult to create somethingnew and innovative in this area. And it's more and more difficult for gamers to accept games that lack some of either qualities that earlier games had, with shining examples of past before us.
2. Commercialism. Big companies seek to produce what the masses want, which is mostly bigger graphics and higher system requirements which force gamers to buy new, more expensive hardware. If the game isn't entirely finished yet, it's usually still published, with patches often already following them within minutes.
Such time pressure and strict control isn't exactly the best environment for imagination and innovation.
3. The dawn of current civilization, which is noticeable not only in computer games area. Think of that whatever you would like to.

Btw., I completely share your nostalgy of the golden age of video games.
But remember one thing - it's a past. Past is dead. We're in the present day. It's time to create something new instead of complaining about something that others are doing bad.
