Chinese pirated copies in internet cafe for shady activities: usually Valve fixed this data in the coming days/hours. But I think it's nice to have a snapshot: a sudden motion of 30% would technically mean a sudden switch of millions of customers (or a bunch bot machines well placed)

Capcom makes the majority of its sales on PC, and it expects the 'ratio to continue increasing'
(finance.yahoo.com)
PC today sold at 1500€ will be sold at 500€ in 2028, so... yeah, I don't know what people is thinking.
One could say "you're missing the whole picture, Alessando: in 2028 people would want to buy shiny new 2028 PCs capable of 2028-tripleA-gaming"
But this is also not the whole picture: if a brand new in 2028 that cost 501€ (500+1) doesn't, at very least, match a 1500€ from the 2025 PC... it simply mean that only rich idiot will buy brand new PC in 2028 (aka: OEM won't simply sell new stuff)
Snapdragon platform is already tailing PC gaming... if OEM won't sell new X86 PC, Snapdragon (and like) are coming to get that hole in the PC market.
(but my true hopes are in RiscV: ARM holding can easily dragged in the hardware AI hell as well as AMD and Intel were)
But y tho
Nvidia, Intel and AMD: their business now is circular money with AI and not PC gaming industry anymore.
I think it's more about the general bombing all around; Russian bombing, Israel bombing, USA bombing. They don't quite hit the EU itself... but they are bombing around (except the side where's the Ocean and North Pole: they don't bomb those).
Second hand market: "I am a joke to you?"
Depends on the government involved: Roblox tax money factory for US government, which considering a certain island, currently aren't too keen get in too many details in wealthy predators.
(Each government around the worlds got their own, BTW)
Steam got around 132 milion scrive users monthly: target the "some" of the most wealthy is what "most" AAA publisher, that sells at AAA price are looking for. It's not about "some" 3080: it's about starting from there and add all people that paid premium price for their upgrade above that.
Bluetooth controller do exist by quite some time. ...also bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
...ad also USB-C hub that recharge/give power, offer HDMI/DP port and usb slots.
I recall Ubuntu Phone back in 2011 was set to use these features to give a complete computing, Ubuntu Linux, experience on smartphone (and TV, as the smartphone connected to TV)
Explain people expecting things to come from future, aka marketing PR.
Well, ARM looks like is hoping to leapfrog over x86 (Intel/AMD) in desktop computing. Once the "RISC" technology (Box86,FEX and alike) head in the PC gaming... we may begin to see options to companies who fed on the PC gaming industry (mostly AMD/Nvidia) and now are turning their back after various things coming along (crypto currency, AI...)

Piracy increase the sales. AAA companies are dumb enough to not even understand what actually draw sales with demo and shareware.
Forgive & forget: don't play, don't talk, don't share products of the IPs from companies you want out of the game: forgotten.
