Quoted from fosaisu:I'd largely blame piracy for ruining PC gaming. Once consoles were powerful enough to play the bigger-budget type games that used to run only on PCs, a developer would be foolish to focus on the PC (where a huge fraction of the userbase will pirate the game) vs a console (where, in exchange for a fee to Microsoft or Sony, you get the relatively wrong copy-protection scheme of a console to protect your development investment).
but the consoles had more resale issues then pc games had. And the pc had it's copy-protection schemes as well.
