The 13th time PC gaming died this decade 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 ( soon will revive ) 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
PC gaming has died a thousand deaths. A look back at the decade's worst predictions about the passing of our hobby.
PC gaming is dying! Sorry, no, PC gaming is dead. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 Hold on, PC gaming is back from the grave! Oh no, it only came back to life to begin dying again. And this time—this time for sure—PC gaming is dead.
We used to read eulogies for PC gaming on a near-monthly basis in articles and forums across the internet. You don't really hear it much anymore, probably because after years of doomsaying and pulse-checking, people have begun to realize that PC gaming, like any other industry with its share of ups and downs and middles are obviously here to stay.
But declaring the death rattle of PC gaming was an extremely common practice in the 2000s and continued well into this decade. What killed PC gaming dead over the past 10 years? Consoles. Piracy. DRM. Laptops. Smartphones. Loot boxes. Retail sales. Digital sales. Casual games. AAA games. No good games! All of these have been blamed for the death of PC gaming, forming an extremely crowded grassy knoll of suspects with smoking guns.
Well, it's no surprise to us but PC gaming is still here, and so are we—though you wouldn't know it from what you're about to read. Here are 13 times PC gaming has died in the past 10 years (or so—I did lift a couple from mid-2009).
