Incorrect. PC Games almost did not come into existence because PCs back in the 80's were not designed with games in mind, because of the existence of consoles. However in 1984 the console market crashed. Since there was no good way to make money on the consoles (Atari, Intelevision and Coleco) Electronic Arts (yes, our beloved EA) which was a new company decided to make their first few games PC exclusive. Well many of these games became large successes, such as the first Madden Football games and the early Ultima games. Then the consoles got back on their feet at roughly the same time with Nintendo's NES console being introduced into the market.ThomasMorgan wrote:

Sorry, which came out first?
Yeah, I rest my case.
Gamers aren't "gamers" only if they play computer games. Hell, computer games probably wouldn't even exist without consoles. Which, I know, is somewhat ironic considering that consoles wouldn't exist without computers.
In short Consoles almost killed PC gaming before it started, but the console makers fucked themselves over and we should all be giving EA and Nintendo epic blowjobs right now for preventing both PC and Console games from getting fucked.
