      I’d say the explosion of gaming in general through the 00s helped make PC gaming more mainstream. Consoles with online gaming helped blur the lines between platforms.

      Then there was also World of Warcraft. It may have only reached ~10 million people then, but it seemed to reach well beyond those who were part of the traditional PC gaming culture.

        Vegging out playing PC games on your TV is a niche of a niche. I’m already a member though.
