True that, but that’s business. For ‘fun’, fanatics like me (dinosaurs) will still build their own PCs, but the lion’s share of the market for digital entertainment these days is driven by non-desktop devices.

If it weren’t for the fact that my favorite games require Windows, I’d be running Linux on my home PCs. The moment that changes, it’s bye-bye Redmond.

One of the major studios (Blizzard) just announced that their next major title in a well known franchise will be a mobile game. Other studios are trying hard to break into the console/mobile market, and starting to let their desktop IPs wither on the vine.

Bleh. Not happy about it, it just seems to be the way things are going.
