To add to that, PC gaming has gotten simpler with installs. Most newer games you don't have to fiddle around. You can just install a game and go. The messing around with settings and files are for those who want to get as much as they can get. Really, an optional thing.
Platforms like Steam especially have made installing a game a one-click affair. Don't even have to buy the physical disc as you have to with all big console games.
