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.

Yeah, and whats the point anyway. If you like Mac and you like play games, use bootcamp. Most hardcore gamers aren't Mac users anyway. Whole WWDC stuff has been pure publicity stunts, Safari for Windows was more buggy than Windows ME, iPhone 3rd party support way was lame and Leopard was just same as we seen before. I hope next big event will feature better news, maybe widescreen iPod with something new.
