    The game engine was designed on x86 UNIX machines and ported to Windows. A Linux port is a no-brainer, and has been around for years now.

    Apples, on the other hand, have PPC chips. That's a lot of time and money to get the game ported, unless you design it for PPC Linux, which is just a simple compile.

    The open UNIX and Linux machines are the *only* OSs that can easily have code ported between the different CPUs.
