    Windows 8 users have become today's "macintosh user" Where's the MacOS version of the game? Shouldn't Mac users be entitled to it? Even though they make up 9% of of (falling) computer sales? You Windows 8 phone users sound just like Mac gamers asking for the game to be ported over. And assuming many of you Windows 8 users are PC gamers, I bet some would respond with "lol macs suck." So why shouldn't we iOS and Android users say "lol windows mobile sucks?" Because it doesn't suck you say? I totally agree. But than, makes no difference to PC gamers when you bring up Macs.

    And yes, Windows phone users sound a lot like Mac users. So, how does it feel to have the shoe on the other foot?

    uhm well my first game I made was WW2 strategy games for the Mac in 1992(I'm sorry? You're welcome!) I have also been a Linux/BSD user, which gets less games than Mac, but instead of complaining the users took it upon themselves to make it work with over 15 years of hard work, and still going!
    The problem with porting to mac from pc all these years is because DX has been the standard, games made using OpenGL were always ported! This is not the same thing at all! HERE the languages are the same, and would take a week tops with 2 people programming to port it over(2-3 more for UI/ART.) Most of the stuff is stored on a database anyway..

    So yeah your argument is invalid

    (Also the market share is rising not falling)

    Most amusing part of this quote? Win 8 adoption just passed the sum total of all users on OSX.

    Not arguing for or against, just seemed humorous given the comparison :P
