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.

"Apple should produce or port ten to twenty games per year, and make them available as a free download for all Mac users"
I'm stunned into silence. Why would Apple want to do this? You're suggesting Apple devote huge amounts of resources to porting games, only to give them away for free? Several companies have tried this porting games over to Linux, but have been unable to make a proft as people just didn't buy them.
If Apple is to port games, which is a good idea, they should charge for them. Otherwise what sensible incentive is there for Apple to do this?
