Could PC gaming really take off ?

As i have said before i do not follow consoles or computers i just go where the games are. And i have noticed past few years pc gaming has taken up a lot of my time.

First you have steam/origin/gog.com and some of the deals i have seen have been far cheaper then console games

Then you have the backward compatibility while granted you are not going to run everything on windows 7/8 a lot of games have been patched to work and you could always try installing xp.

But the thing that makes me think pc gaming is going to get bigger is you are getting games that i never would expect come to pc the amount of fighting games that are out now and are coming soon but then you have games from japan such as the newer final fantasy/dark souls/even a metal gear solid. And then of course you have the modding issues can be fixed and games can be improved beyond what the developers did.

In the end i just hope pc gaming continues to grow
