I just bought Sins of a Solar Empire and it's awesome. I didn't have to do any stupid software key and the game runs great. It was the best PC gaming experience I have had in years. The PC game market is still huge compared to when I started playing PC games. I think that if games like WoW and The Sims can come along and…
It's a shame there's no PC games at E3. I can understand the move towards consoles.
