[ut3] STFU

[Sir Brizz]

This isn't really true. PC development slagged between 2002-2007 but 
there are more PC games now than ever before, IMO. Platforms like Steam 
and Impulse have really driven that, I think (proving that there IS a PC 
market). You may think they are "consolified" (whatever that should 
mean), but I appreciate the quantity (and general quality) of PC games 
now. Obviously there is a lot of crap out there, but that's true of any 
platform.

If you wanted to argue that there are very few Linux games anymore, I 
would agree with you there. It's disappointing to see so few companies 
supporting as many platforms as they can.
