    So a bunch of people that make shitty DRM-ridden console ports along with PA are going to sit around and give expert commentary about the PC gaming industry?

    Here's a hint - the industry has changed. PC gamers will no longer go out and give you their money just for another big budget shooter. You're going to have to work harder, be more creative, and offer more services to add value to the purchase (see: Valve). And you better figure it out, because console gamers WILL become as tired and jaded towards the same old shit as we have. Right now they're in the shooter-high we had from around 95-01 or so since they've never had big budget shooters before this gen of console. If you don't start changing your ideas on creativity, service models, and the industry as a whole, you are going to be fucked when you've finally sold them all the snake oil they can stomach.
