" I keep hearing that the PC is dying a slow and horrible death as consoles are becoming more and more like PC's, would you say that PC gaming is starting to end or is there still plenty of life left in it? "

Well I don't play PC games, so clearly PC games in addition to anything else I don't do either doesn't matter or is dying. Flat facts.

I think with the advent of Steam, PC gaming is burgeoning if anything.

PC gamers won't die. we're immortal.

No, but PC ONLY gamers are a dying breed. 
 
As long as people use PCs, there will always be PC gaming.

"And then there are the costs, a decent gaming PC cost's about 1500$ that might up to the task for about 2 or 3 years and then another 1500$ to buy a new one. Unlike the 300$ console which usually last 5 years or more. But i'm still a PC gamer and probably will be for a long time. " 

What about that HDTV? Unless you game on a 26" CRT TV then I doubt that buying a current gen console only costs $300.

No. just ordered parts for a new gaming rig today.

sadly no

fuck off with these threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaads. 
 
PC will never die because you can't kill an open platform.
 
I hope these threads become a dying breed along with their topic creators.

Death smiles at us all.  All a man can do is smile back.

Definitely not, I recently got into PC gaming, although my computer can't run all of the current games, so I'll have to get a new one.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

That's always a silly argument, because a computer needs a HDTV or monitor of some kind too.  If you don't have either a HDTV or monitor there's no way you can use a computer, but you could still use a SDTV to play a console... "

Over the last 30 days I've purchased over 30 games on Steam. I wouldn't say PC gaming is going anywhere.

Also there's the Linux factor.  VALVe have stated that they are looking to bring Linux support to Steam and the Source Engine soon, so I think PC gaming is far from dead.

Where are people getting the idea that pc gaming is dieing? PCs invented gaming!

Yeah, all PC gamers will get killed in an atomic bomb and/or get shot in the face.
 
We are a dying breed.
