IMHO there was absolutely no reason to get a PC until the mid 90s. Even if there were a few titles which are superiour and without a match on the Amiga, it still doesn't make sense to invest in an expensive PC just for them. On the other hand you can easily find more great titles on the Amiga which didn't exist on the PC at that time.

Myself I was mostly into strategy and simulations, but still I never got a PC because I was also a developer and prefered the much better architecture and operating system of the Amiga.

I got my first PC around 2015 and I can still use it for today's games with i7/3.4GHz, 32GB and GTX970. This wasn't possible in the 90s. You burned a lot of money for a crappy system.
