If it is I am not laughing.
Myst was a game like no other. It defined PC gaming as a genuen market and never looked back. To bad they closed their doors.
The Sims most recently have been the ticket and before them was Everquest (bla bla bla bla everquest)
Half-life came out but it was Counter-Strike that made it a success.
There have been many hits, but recently the market has declined dramatically in quality and inspiration. There are really no new games coming out, they are all formula X or sequels.
Most good PC games are being converted to consule as that is a blooming market right now. Hey why not, I mean you have to follow the money in order to stay in business right? But the flip side to that is that the PC market will become a neglected redheaded step child. And that is no april fools joke deccan.
