What I'm more concerned with is

>50s: USA invented video games, and by extension PC gaming since it was only available on a terminal computer
>70s-80s: America focuses a tiny bit into computer gaming, but were still pre-occupied with console gaming
>90s: America becomes a behemoth in the computer scene, being responsible for such hits as Doom, Quake, and Diablo
>2000s: They scale back a bit and focus more on consoles, as evidenced by Halo and American pubs focusing only on consoles but not PC
>past decade: They are responsible for some of the worst, most barebones PC ports ever like Arkham Knight and Saints Row 2

Why was the US a powerhouse for PC gaming almost exclusively in the 90s? You can't even argue "because consoles", the 90's was the birth of THE most popular console ever; the PlayStation. So what gives?
