  1. But what of small shareware houses? by Godeke · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is great news for the big game houses, but could spell a problem for the smaller game houses that specialize in Mac games. There are quite a few wonderful games that are unavailable on PC in the shareware space, and these programmers have found an audiance due to the lower number of commercial games available. If this turns a six month project into a one month project, I think a lot more commercial games will be available, which might shrink the market for the independents that have slaved away to support the Mac.

  2. Isn't that what SDL is? by corezion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought Loki made the Simple Direct-Media Layer to port DirectX games to Linux and other OSes. And it's been out quite a while now.
