Comment well I think this is a rant about Mac gaming... (Score 1) 46
Maybe I am just getting old (I keep telling myself gaming in general is just maturing, but I still think that proves I am in denial).
My PC which is very capable of playing Doom 3 and all the other game is just collecting dust. The monitor is about to go and I just don't care.
Ever since I got my Mac, I hardly use the PC for anything much less games. My gaming has switched to where it should be on the PS2/XBOX/GAMECUBE/Atari etc.
I have realized that I actually play games to have fun or to hear a story. Instead of to make my hardware work, to see if Windows will crash, etc.
The only good the PC does me is for multiplayer. Once you can play games as fun as UT2004 as easy online as you can on a console, then I will be in utopia.
On a side note, I remember Linux gaming. It was such a fun protest to buy the Linux version of Quake 3. Did it do anything for me or ID Software... no. I just had to wait two extra months to play it and they outsourced it anyway. Mac gaming is just like linux gaming.
Games should not define the functionality and usefullness of a platform. If all you need a computer for is to play games, its a hell of a lot smarter to look elsewhere (an expensive lesson learned by many!).
