3. PC games, also known as computer games, are video
games played on a general-purpose personal computer
rather than a dedicated video game console or arcade
console. Their defining characteristics include a lack of
any centralized controlling authority and greater
capacity in input, processing, and output.
PC games reached widespread popularity following the
video game crash of 1983, particularly in Europe,
leading to the era of the "bedroom coder". From the
mid-90s onward they lost mass-market traction to
console games before enjoying a resurgence in the mid-
2000s through digital distribution. They also are a lot
more advanced than any console and they run at 60 fps
not 30 like all consoles are restricted to.
