a small message to all fucking console gamers out there,

PC WILL DEFINTELY MAKE A COME BACK AND WILL BLOW ALL UR FUCKING CONSOLES. SO BETTER WATCH OUT!!

[AnnoyedDragon]

Microsoft lost the right to represent PC gaming the moment they announced the Xbox and started mass buying PC developers to make games for it, they hurt their own gaming market.

If Microsoft won't do their job someone else has to; in this case every major company that benefit from a strong PC gaming platform is putting their differences aside to promote it, how cool is that.

Hopefully they can get the real industry figures out there, not the misinformation that fuels doomsayers.

PC ftw, consoles are for arcade games and stuff, PC is the definitive gaming platform. They just need to stand together and get all the juice they can from our hardware. Stop making console ports ffs !
