"And as I discussed with patchworkkid, I think the MMO game is finished - Blizzard has won."
Nah, you're dead wrong on that one. Keep in mind people said the same about Everquest back in the day. Secondarily, there's still a lot of money to be made from a non-win MMO. Age of Conan is doing just fine, as will the Warhammer one. It will be a long time before anyone has the level of absurd success that WoW had (10 million + users) but it'll happen inside the next 5 years or so. MMO is by definition a faddish arena.
As for not liking consoles - there's plenty of lean back options, and plenty of lean forward options on any modern console. If you were more familiar with the breadth of stuff I think you'd be potentially convinced.
