What actually has held back gaming on the Mac, especially since Apple's keen on us to download everything anyway? We're told there's enough Macs out there, and as I understand it the chipsets and cards would let a lot of games run at half-decent settings :?

That mac owners aren't really interested in playing games, or they buy consoles?

If I could use the games I've already purchased then I'd be very happy. I currently have to duel-boot or fire up a VM to play Steam games, not having to do so would be very nice.

I don't think it would be beyond Apple to promote them though, then who knows? ;)

You mean I’d have to shovel coal into my Mac to keep it running?

I take it you didn't read the CPC Mac-killer article. The availability and cost of good GPU's on Macs was an issue.

Is it an issue because the other hardware was overpriced to begin with? ;)
