• One of the great things about in-game money and virtual economies is that they never went through
  
  this whole economic meltdown. So take that to all of those people who think the real world is
  
  better then computer games!

• The problem with console gaming is that it leans towards the common denominator thus watering down the experience of what the PC games community has come to expect. Consider one of the most succesful FPS games on console, Bioshock, the depth and immersion was there but it was still much watered down from its predecessor Systemshock. Consider Deus Ex II for xbox compared to the original, in fact consider the control method of ANY FPS on console to the PC. then consider ANY attempt at RTS on a console compared to the PC. Compare ANY attempt at The Sims on console to its PC brethren. And as for MMORPG's... Where are they? not on console, at least not yet. The PC by the nature of its input (mouse and a myriad of keys) has allowed for a truly immersive connection to the content. until the consoles do so then the PC will still remain to be the best platform for complex gaming.
  
  The problem is the industry is shying away from this market as they attempt to replicate the success of Nintendo. i can see the death of truly immersive gaming experiences in preference for more simplified controls and therefore much wider audience. That will be a shame.
  
  It would be much more preferable to me to see one standardised home computing system, media, gaming, computing. All on one platform. seems the industry in every venture tries to prevent this from happening.

  Rubbish! I receive more than enough junk messages from those RMT vultures selling WoW gold, Everquest 2 platinum etc. to see that inflation is taking just as much toll on their exchange rates just as any real currency.
  
  As to the article it seems a little overblown given that ChomeOS is described by Google as a lightweight O/S targetted at netbooks, not general purpose computing. A case of reading more into it than it really there, just the same way as happened with Wolfram Alpha where journalists turned a niche system into a full-blown threat to Google by conveniently making up their own facts when the reality didn't provide something controversial enough.

• GK: I guess I'm just worried that simplifying operating systems for consumers too much will deny them the opportunity to see some of the more cool stuff that computers can do, in this case - gaming. This article's more a "what if" question than a "this will happen" pronouncement. Posted by radioedit, United Kingdom
