PC is the most 'dominant' it's been this decade as two-thirds of devs say they're targeting the platform (www.pcgamer.com)

playing online games for free and not needing subscriptions is a huge one. these days they try to justify it with attaching free games or some other kind of live service so i don't discount the value of them nowadays but it's still mind blowing to me how for almost two generation they got away charging for online play without barely doing anything but being the monopoly man.

the great thing about PC is its flexibility and if you don't want or need flexibility consoles are a good choice but i think more and more people are appreciating the flexibility PC platforms have.
