John Romero: PC Is Decimating Console, Just Through Price

During a ceremony at the National Museum of Play, John Romero talked about inexpensive PC games, Steam and F2P games decimating console games on price. He also had a bit to say about VR games being a fad. "With PC you have free-to-play and Steam games for five bucks. The PC is decimating console, just through price. Free-to-play has killed a hundred AAA studios," he remarked. Our entire first episode was free - give us no money, play the whole thing. If you like it and want to play more, then you finally pay us. To me that felt like the ultimate fair [model].
