Despite what many (including myself) thought when EA announced they would support the Mac platform, the games EA will release are actually not native ports - instead, they will use Transgaming's Cider engine, a Wine-like wrapper for running Windows games on Intel Macs. This news was found in a Transgaming press release. Apart from the fact that this might negatively affect performance, it also means PowerPC Macs will not be able to play these games.

if this is true it is incredibly lame. I honestly dont think all the games will use this. Blizzard will still make native games and iD i hope will as well. I think this might be for most titles as it would alow u to play basicaly any windows game on yoru mac but surely there will be real mac ones too. probly jsut not as many. heres hoping anyways
