PC is the most 'dominant' it's been this decade as two-thirds of devs say they're targeting the platform (www.pcgamer.com)

At least in my experience, it was my first time really modding anything. I had had access to a PC years ago when I was a small child, and I played stuff like Garry's Mod where I'd just build crazy contractions (dare I say I got kinda good at it, who knows how much better I'd be now if I was able to keep up with it).

After a while I lost access to the computer, but I still was able to play console games, so that's what I mainly gamed on for a very long time, up until just a couple years ago when I finally got a PC.

So I'd say if anything, it's a great introductory to the possibilities of mods to console players, and like me, it may push some to actually get a PC to do more with their games. In all, I'd say it's a positive thing regardless.
