Mac Gamers Doomed!
« on: 9 January 2003, 21:50 »
I was taking a look at a site I visit daily, http://www.planetunreal.com and there I saw this link: http://www.insidemacgames.com/news/story.php?ArticleID=6835

That got ya scared didn't it?

Another reason for me to buy one... But I need money.
Free it, goddamnit!

Its hard to believe they released a linux version before they released a mac version. Maybe the future is bright for linux games.

i think about 99% of gamers are warez kiddys.

When TCPA starts effecting them lots will move to Linux.

And also consider 65% of Windows users are gamers.

Thats a big market share Microsoft will loose.

Maybe, maybe not...

I don't if I'll say "TCPA yeah! Go for it Microsoft, lose all your gamers!" or "TCPA sucks, everyone thinks it's the greatest thing since the pizza slicer".

We'll just have to wait how it takes out, and really tell a lot of people what TCPA is, and why it sucks.

Hey, it's not our fault. We're the only ones who know how you feel, and it was your choice to switch to Linux anyway. If it were up to me we'd all get our games at the same time.

That article must be old, I was in the Apple store not more than a week ago and saw UT03 there for sale. Had Linux, Windows, and Mac version on the box. Maybe it was a pre-order thing or something.
