    GameSpot have posted an article on uncertain future of PC gaming. EBGames and GameStop are supposed to remove PC games from their shelves after the holidays, which has been denied by EG CEO.

    PC games have come in for their share of bad press recently. In the current issue of Game Developer magazine, respected game designer Feargus Urquhart commented on "the lack of support for the PC as a gaming platform." Of course, the game conference circuit just wouldn’t be the same without the requisite "Is PC Gaming Dying?" panel.

    Recently, the hot topic took a decidedly darker turn. Last week, a number of widely read game forums posted entries suggesting that EBgames and GameStop, two of the nation's biggest specialty retailers, would remove all PC games from their inventories as soon as the holidays passed.

    While gamers debated the finer points of retail strategy, analysts had a different view of things. "I don't think that PC games are dying out," IDC analyst Schelley Olhava said, although she did acknowledge, "they definitely are a much smaller proportion of the overall market."
