Although to continue the argument from GP: copious 90% off steam sales haven't killed PC gaming, enough people still preorder PC games at full price. It's literally a meme that people have more games than they can ever play but they still keep buying new ones.

In the '80s the games were mostly being purchased by adults for children, while today PC games are mostly purchased by adults for themselves. (I also remember being encouraged to spend my allowance on clearance-bin games when my parents wouldn't buy them new.)
