Has Microsoft killed PC gaming in retail stores? One site says, "Yep"
While there are other factors brought up in the article such as piracy and DRM set-ups that seem to be against the average consumer, IndustryGamers puts the big blame on Microsoft. Their launch of the Xbox 360 console has caused many PC-only game developers to move into console development, often putting the PC version of their games as a low priority.

Square Enix) seems to lean on the side of legit (for now anyway). A web site called fourplayercoop.com claims to have a mole inside the development team that took some pictures of a monitor displaying some info on the latest Lara Croft adventure.
The alleged info shows off some concept artwork and details of the type of game that developer Crystal Dynamics is making. Supposedly the game will have Lara engage in an open-world style of action game on an island. The story is also supposed to reboot Lara's origins because this game will be set early in her life and will show how she grew to be the hard-as-nails adventure babe.
