Friendly Disccusion AAA Games on Pc will Die Eventually or decrease and pc gaming will downgrade /stall 1st thing By gaming PCs I mean PCs that are meant for gaming. PCs that are used in office or home doesnt fall in this category. Please dont take the thread off topic. Pc gaming not dying But their progress might come to a stall and downgrade. Why? 1. The games that push gaming PCs are usually so called AAA games. Love it or hate it but these AAA games breaks the barrier of virtual world which is not possible for many indie games. But AAA games and PC market doesn’t seem a perfect match. 2. AAA games require huge sales with $60 mark to make it profitable. But in PC gaming arena this is less frequent than console games. They are many AAA PC successful games but their number is less than console counterparts Example GTA 5 holds all records on console . 3. In PC gaming people are delighted with the sale of an AAA game at $10. And why they shouldn’t? It’s a great offer. But from a developers perspective this is not a good sign. They want as many games sold at $60 not in $10. 4. Plus piracy is another reason why these AAA games don’t get money. Piracy in PC is much bigger than console counterpart. If piracy reduced to 20% in PC then their revenue would be 5-10 times bigger than consoles revenue. 5. GPU manufacturers will be in dilemma in future. As the costs of making GPU will keep rising in future. Unless there is somne alternative cheap ways they might face the option to make less variants. 6. PC gaming is bigger than console gaming. But majority of that revenue comes from MMO and MOBA games. And these games don’t push visual benchmarks. They don’t push it because they want to make it playable as many gamers they can. So in the end these so called AAA games will be less and less on Pc. Ending words: Gaming PCs will go down not now but in near future, their progress might face a downward trend in coming years .
