If that's so, then what would the point of porting it to Mac be... the users will eventually use Windows through time anyways. If there going to spend time on a port, it would probably make the most sense for the 360 because it is directX native, supports indie development, supports larger games, ties in with Games for Windows, and it's a console.

As a Mac-User I can say: I will NEVER install windows on my mac. A mac-port (and with that a OpenGL port) of 3D GameStudio would be really great. Many mac-user are Apple-Fanatics, only a small amount will directly install windows. Virtualizations (e.g. VMWare, or Parallels) have quite limited 3D support (directX 8.1 ).

Thankfully though, Apple is becoming a bit smarter as of late, and are using Intel, and have a program so users can use Windows as well, this will help in the games case and in many other cases as well(Windows has many programs exclusive to it). Power to the Mac users, you can now enjoy the wonderful world of Windows Gaming! Last edited by William; 04/02/07 00:25.

Neither of us can prove that mac users play Crysis and countless other DirectX games, but garagegames has proved that mac users indeed play indie games. And as said, I find it very unlikely that a mac user would install windows on his/her mac. Those who want to use windows usually buy a pc you know .

I'm really not too bias. I started on windows, I hate windows but, it is much more widley supported than mac in software, and it's cheaper to buy a pc than a mac..in general(not boutique here). Everybody Poops. here are some tutorials I made. http://www.acknexturk.com/blender/
