No, because Blizzard is now making online-only games which are A) immune (or at least resistant) to piracy, B) are built with an art style that is compatible with low-end PCs, but not so much with the realism which would even remotely trigger an AO rating, as the issues become stronger the closer you get to photo-realism.
One could argue Valve as well, with respect to PC games, but they have their own reasons for being successful, which involves building and supporting a game with multiple releases and constant attention which is atypical of the industry.
Yes, it's possible to make money on PC, in the same way it's possible to make money with an iPhone game or a search portal. That doesn't mean that doing so is even remotely viable for the fast majority of people who would wish to do so.
