This has been said so many times and every time wrong.
It is only wrong when you see it as meaning that playing games on PCs will no longer happen.
Since games that were produced in the 1990s and even before can still be played on PCs, you'll have games to play on PCs.
But PC gaming is not a reference to the capacity to play games on a PC. Who said that games would no longer be played on PCs when knowing that compatibility of games published in the past ensures games will be played on PCs?
Telling that PC gaming is dead means that games will no longer be played on PCs is a made up statement. It is not about that.
PC gaming is a reference to the time when games were specifically designed for PCs, pushing up the limits of the available configurations by being commonly designed for high end PCs.
There was a time like that. Not that distant.
The space allocated exclusively to PC gaming is shrinking to very little. Developpers less and less think in terms of PC potential. Developpers who think in terms of potential look at console gaming. It is where they want to push the limits now.
Watching the video, it appeared that developpers held back certain game features. The features could have been supported by recent PCs, but they simply prefered not to include them in PC games to keep them in store for console gaming.
