    Unless something really REALLY serious happens to windows or the gaming industry it will ALWAYS be PC first, Mac second. You don't need to stay up nights worrying that Mac ports will hurt PC sales, as that will (almost entirely likely) never, ever, be the case. Also I think its funny that you inadvertantly called yourself a loser, then admitted to it ;) No hard feelings, right?

    Oh yeah just so you know, the non-code portions of this site were made on a Mac :)

    Alright. I obviously touched a nerve here and for that im sorry. Do i still think that MAC s are not of the same quality as a computer running Windows? I sure do. You are wrong when you said that i probably dont i own a mac. I do. I realize now that i just called myself a loser, since i said that anyone who owns a MAC is a loser. Still i am worried that if many games get ported to MACs that less PC games might be made, and for us that own a good computer this is not a good thing. As for LEC making sequels; this is not something to worry about. They made EMI which is an adventure game and there last was never ported to MAC and did not sell all that well. I personally think that LEC will still make adventuregames as long as there is still a following.

    Ok, we realize you don't own a Mac. So why do you care if the games are ported for those who do own them? It won't affect whether or not the games come out for Windows. If it does have an effect at all it will be positive, as more copies sold obviously equals more profits to put into future titles. Money is money, regardless of whether that money came from a Mac sale or a Wintel sale. Just posting that Macs suck (an original statement too!) to get people yelling at each other doesn't accomplish anything. Well, you got me to post a lot, but that's about it.

    I guess there are more morons than i thought. Its a real shame that so many people go through poor public school systems. I find it sad

    You seem to care enough to post a comment about it.

    Who cares? What kind of loser owns a MAC anyway?!
