Because some of the best games (IMHO) are for the PC only such as Age of
Empires, or oldies like Master of Orion. I have a Dreamcast, PSX, and even
an old Atari 2600 because some games are best played on a console, while
other are better (or only found) on a PC. have you ever tried to play Quake
or Unreal Tournament with a gamepad instead of a keyboard and mouse?
