>I'm of the impression that PC gaming was never really relevant until recently
That's not true in two major ways at once.

First, Apple, Amiga, MSX, and PC88/98 were tremendously important in shaping the history of video games. To list just a few major and influential games that originated on PCs: Zork, Ultima, Wizardry, Tetris, Sim City, Doom, Quake, Unreal, Half-Life, Warcraft and Starcraft, Diablo, Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, Crysis.

Second, nothing's changed recently. Playstation games being ported? They were always being ported: MGS had a PC port and so did MGS2, Silent Hill 2 and 3 had PC ports, FFVII and FFVIII had PC ports, Super Mario fucking Brothers had several PC ports, albeit all shitty, Mega Man had a port, Dragon Quest had PC ports in Japan etc. etc. Mortal Kombats, Street Fighters all had OC ports. Most Resident Evils had PC ports. Nothing new.
