The thing is, these are things that shouldn't be attempted to explain too much, as they're unlikely to pull it off well. Whatever they'd come up with couldn't hope to be as plausible as anything you've cooked up in your head, precisely because it's unexplained. There's a danger of going the way of Lost with the more you explain, the less interesting it gets.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's still plenty of PC games designed for PC and aimed at the PC gamer market being released, Civilization games, Supreme Commander, flight simulators, point & click adventures, The Witcher etc etc, you're just unlikely to hear about them since all the advertising is focused on consoles.

Sure, they won't sell huge amounts, but they're there and being released just as well. I was surprised by how many point&click adventures are still being published.

But then, the really big releases are generally designed with consoles in mind and then ported to PC as is, low resolution support and simplified controls and all

There's nowhere I can't reach.
