    Seems to me there are a few ppl here who drank the iKool-aid

    Letting ppl have the ability to play on a mac would be a great thing, but the relatively small number of ppl who use them couple with the costs of printing discs, tweaking things to work on a mac and even rewriting in-game script (tutorials and such) and the booklets for mac users would not really be cost effective.

    reguardless apple isnt really made for gaming, they are overpriced machines that at one time did a few things better than a pc but pc has caught up and surpassed apple in many ways so you have an overpriced, mid-quality pc mostly that still cant run everything it should. Its more a status thing at this point. Even indesign, photoshop, autocad and what not run better for me on my pc and hp laptop than on my apple with fewer problems, crashes and stops. Even the design dept at school scrapped all their macs for pc cause the pc performed better.

    Cant tell that to the iCult tho, they will summon the ghost of Steve Jobs bring a blight upon your house

    PC's didn't surpass macs, Apple decided to go backwards instead of forwards.
