Faeron, you hit the nail on the head. Most people think that a 'dead' PC games market is no PC games at all. But what it is is when a market cannot sustain itself due to lack of quality product. As quality PC games become fewer and further between it will rely on the independent games industry to teach gamers that graphics isn't everything and that we will have to start again, with simpler, cheaper, downloadable games from independent publishers teaching a lot of us that gameplay is king, and as they sell more games, so the games will get a little bigger, with better AI, etc.
Alternatively, PC gaming will just slowly fade away, with nobody in ten years being able to say exactly when it ended.
