Well...if nothing changes in the near future, consoles are going to take over the game market. 2 out of 3 consoles offer something other than DirectX as their game-building APIs. N…

It's going to be years before I will be able to jump to an IntelMac, so, yeah, I'll be buying Mac ports for the foreseeable futurer.
