The makers of X-Plane 9 (9!) might disagree with you there

+1 to speculum jockey

And to add to this:

They didn't release any Mac supported games b4, and they're not going to do it in the future. I see no reason to anyways.. the PC is such a better gaming platform.

Yeah, and if it was an actual native port and not just a release of the PC version with a wrapper like Cider, how many years after the original game was released did it come out?

What's the point of developing for MacOS when you can dualboot a Mac with Windows 7? LOL!

Whatever, Linux, Windows, MacOS are just the OS, all the hardware is PC. The Macs are overpriced, overdesigned and underspeced PC's that's all they are

At least before they had their own unique hardware but not so anymore.

Definitely. It's weird they use underspecced graphics cards with some of the video memory removed and things like that. Seems utterly pointless. And the amount they charge for upgrades if you decided to add stuff to your custom Mac from their store is about three times what the component is worth, for some reason. Arghhh, Apple. What an awful company.
As to MacOS, why pay for just another flavour of Unix?

If I was the head of 1C or any other games company, I wouldn't waste a single line of code on any apple product. Never.

They do it from a purely greed standpoint. They know most mac users are idiots and dont require high performance hardware so they strip it down to bare minimum and leave the price at a premium. ANd you get maximum profits by ripping of your loyal sheeple.

I spend my days supporting windows for a living. When I get home everything is Apple except my gaming PC.
I suppose it's personal choice, I prefer Apple products. Good design, good components and an OS does what you need it to do without moaning.
Blue screens, explorer.exe (not responding), do you want to send this error report to microsoft etc. I don't enjoy that.

Gaming on a MAC, it's possible. I enjoy the occasional session of Call of Duty on my MacBook without issue. It's a shame more peripherals weren't compatible or I be on a MAC for my flight sims too. With Apple doing I7's and aftermarket NVidia cards it'd be possible.

But of course this is all pointless as my original presumption was well off, as I suspected in the first place.
