PC gaming is history to me and I've been gaming on the PC since 94. Let's see:
I pay 500 dollars for an nVidia card in winter 2004, and less than 2 years later, it is fried. Add to this, I was trying to be a decent buyer by buying games legally, and I just pop in an old game I had bought less than 2 years ago. It doesn't work? Why? Because Microsoft decided to issue some update to XP that screwed up with starforce. It tells me I need to insert the CD again (although the CD is waiting in my drive). So I go onto the internet hunting for a pirated exe file to run the game.
The final straw was when I bought a cross fire ATI set up from DELL. I said screw nVidia, I am going with ATI and let's make it a dual card set up. $3000+ system. 2 days after I buy it, Fear would hang on me after 5 minutes. Company of Heroes hangs on me. Even casual games sometimes hang on me. At that point, I shipped the $3000+ system back to DELL and gave up on PC gaming forever.
