Even though i prefer Macs, both companies have their ups and downs. So who cares¡¿!?

Unfortunately, this is pretty much a death sentence to the Mac gaming market. Why would people wait 6 months to a year for a crappy, more expensive port of a Windows game when they can just buy the native Windows version immediately and not have to deal with any of the consequences of a port?
because you have to reboot every time you want to switch os

imagine doing somthing in osx but then you have to swich to windows to play a game


plus alot of game companies take off from the mac platform because there is less competition and your game is less likly to be over shadowed

there are fairly good virtualization programs (I think one is named Parallels) It isnt shitty like the old Virtual PC either
