Reports of the death of PC gaming have not only been greatly exaggerated, but the platform is actually in ascendancy, and is set to take the gaming platform crown from its console rivals. That’s according to
the PC Gaming Alliance

so think crytek did a big mistake shiitting on all PC gamers.

They don't mention it in the article, that I could see, but another reason is the aging of the current gen consoles. We've passed the 5 year mark for the 360 and are approaching it with PS3 and Wii, and still none of them even have shown any indication that a successor is in the works. I actually seem to remember early on hearing that MS and Sony were planning on these consoles lasting for 10 years... well, if they can keep up the sales for 4 more years more power to them, but I think a lot of people are starting to realize there is already a HUGE distance between the consoles and what is possible with current PC tech - and it's only going to get bigger. It's ironic that Crysis 2 is the exception, given that the original was probably the first sign of the current situation.

Even before the most recent big multiplatform releases, though, I was getting the sense that gaming was migrating towards the PC and iOS/Android platforms, and leaving the consoles behind. To be honest, I think if I were going to name one company that was most responsible for revitalizing the PC as a platform, I'd without a doubt single out Valve. They're incredibly masterful at selling games, especially with the frequent 75% markdowns that are so irresistible that people (or me, anyway) end up buying tons of games they probably otherwise wouldn't have. I think they've begun to convince the big publishers that doing things that are good for the customer can be even more profitable.
