Many people skipped Vista too, and life went on. I doubt 8 will stick around long.
If Steam wants to make PC gaming more user friendly, they'd do well to note the new Nvidia tool. |
I think the point is to sneak PC gaming under the console gamer's radar, which they're pretty much going to have to do in this day and age. Consoles have come so far now that most new gamers, who are young and have little disposable income, are fine shelling out a few hundred bucks for an XBOX or PlayStation but would balk at having to spend $2000+ on a respectable gaming PC ($1500 if they built it themselves).
