Star Apple Games: Leveraging Small Market Share
Linked by Kevin M. Arvin on Wed 16th Jul 2003 05:19 UTC
Apple How many hardcore gamers do you know who are also avid Mac users? Probably not many. Windows users have thousands of titles to choose from, and cheap hardware to run their games on. Despite the many virtues of the Mac platform, it is not the first choice of serious gamers. Even the speedy new G5's will not change that.

Libraries, not the games - ie. libsdl
by Paul on Wed 16th Jul 2003 17:16 UTC

I think that if Apple were to put some support into something like libsdl (http://www.libsdl.org), they could have some success. The SDL Library performs the same function on Linux/Windows/Mac that DirectX does on Windows. If that library was competent enough that developers could use it instead of directx, then it would literally be a re-compile to support Mac or Linux.
