Hmmm....
This definitely gives you something to think about. Frankly, many great game designers have dropped out on the PC market, one of them being Westwood. Blizzard has still got its unbeatable charm, but who knows how long they can keep going at it.....
Console games have definitely taken a turn for the better, with new online gaming, cooperative options and all the other gadgets and toys. Many of these new console games are really overshadowing the PC. Examples- SOCOM, FF10, Splinter Cell, Metroid Prime, etc. Here is a theory- "Due to the fact that the console gaming industry has so much competition, each game designer is forced to create the very best to outsell the competition."
On the other hand, Blizzard, Westwood and a few other large scale companies have dominated the computer game market for so long, that many other computer game designers don't have the will or the funds to continue making games.
This could be one reason, who knows....? :ph34r:
