Lack of Manpower May Kill VLC For Mac 398

plasmacutter writes "The Video Lan dev team has recently come forward with a notice that the number of active developers for the project's MacOS X releases has dropped to zero, prompting a halt in the release schedule. There is now a disturbing possibility that support for Mac will be dropped as of 1.1.0. As the most versatile and user-friendly solution for bridging the video compatibility gap between OS X and windows, this will be a terrible loss for the Mac community. There is still hope, however, if the right volunteers come forward."

Cost. I consider games a poor value compared to novels or movies. If video games were $20 versus the $60-$70 they are now, I would buy more and pirate less. I only shell out for video games that have a superb multiplayer experience that allows for hours and hours and hours of gameplay.
