GameSpy Attempting to Dump Mac Gamers
An anonymous reader writes "Inside Mac Games reports that GameSpy is trying to license its way out of supporting the Mac." From the article: "The impact of GameSpy's pricing tactics could be devastating to the Mac gaming market. A number of recent games on the Mac such as Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor: Breakthrough, Neverwinter Nights, and others use GameSpy."
Lucky bastards. I wish they would drop the PC support too.
This is a sad day for gaming in general. To drop support of a viable platform for monetary reasons is ir purely a financial move on GameSpy's part.
I, too, long for the old days when companies didn't have to think about their costs or profits. When they did whatever would make slashdot users happy. Whatever happened to those days?

Shortsidedness is the quality of a golf shot that misses the green near the flag, resulting in a more difficult chip. To hit such a shot is to shortside onesself.

Five Years Ago called. They want their hype back.
Widespread use of Linux on the home user's desktop was a pipedream which precious few believe anymore.

When you're rushing me with Zerglings you're rushing a "Mac gamer." ...and when you're playing a game less than six years old, you're playing against a "PC gamer."
