Indie game developer Wolfire Games gives 5 solid reasons why games developers should support Mac OS X and Linux. [via TUAW]
"Obviously supporting Mac OS X and Linux means you tap into another platform and expand your potential market base. That much is clear. But surely adding an extra 5% is negligible, right? Wrong.
