The big sea change for me over the past four or five years is the number of games that are getting a simultaneous release on Steam. I play mostly fighting games (when I can find the time), and those, for the most part, used to be the exclusive domain of consoles. Outside of some first party exclusives (like Nintendo's Smash series), just about every major fighting game franchise outside of Virtua Fighter (and who knows, that might even show up hidden in a release of Yakuza) is now on the PC. They're coming out so often that I can't even keep up now. And while I know there are Steam haters out there, it has been great for me. I buy games only when they're heavily discounted, so I now have a huge library that is a fraction of the cost of some of my old console purchases.
