I noticed something theother day.
While looking at retail, and retail alone, I merely the same old games, same old genres, the same old stories and the same old violence themes.
Looking at retail alone ( ! ) , PC gaming is indead dead - and I imagined, that if I was an mid-ages casual, very casual playing person, like for example father of a full family, not connected to Steam or/and GOG, for example, so casual that I'd ONLY buy in retail - yes, indeed, I thought, I'd come to the firm conclusion that PC gaming is truly dead. No variation, no creativity, no colourfuulness so that other family members could play these games as well … You just won't find any Super Mario game on the PC. It's just too … much non-violent. And far too much colourful. And therefore it wouldn't sell. On the PC platform.
Fittingly, our local newspaper just published the best selling PC games from the last year : 1. FIFA 18, Call Of Duty WWII, GTA V
No suprises here, especiall since ALL of them are series. Serial Sellers.
