Why are PC games really losing sales?

[...] it’s easier for these developers to point their fingers at pirates than to face the real problem: that their games are not fun on PC. The games in question are usually designed for consoles, with the desktop port as an afterthought. This means they are not fun to play with a mouse and keyboard, and don’t work well on PC hardware. Their field of view is designed to be viewed from a distant couch instead of a nearby monitor, and their gameplay is simplified to compensate for this tunnel vision.

Also check out Wolfire’s Humble Indie Bundle, a pay-what-you-want offer for 5 games (which seperately bought may cost as much as $80). I got mine for $12,50, quite a fair price.
