5 times gaming PCs were pronounced dead in the last 30 years
Whatever naysayers might claim, the immortal gaming PC refuses to die
Over the last 30 years or so, the media has repeatedly pronounced PC gaming, and, by extension, gaming PCs dead. This doom-mongering reared its head in the 90s with the popularity of home consoles like the NES and PlayStation, in the 2000s with the rise of piracy and console prioritization by developers, and in the 2010s with the explosion of mobile gaming. Even the last five years have been filled with declarations of gaming PCs finally losing to consoles due to terrible PC ports and unaffordable hardware.
