    Now, is it better to get things written for OS X, or is it better to port things for the extra 'cool' factor?

    Yes, but what does this have to do with CmdrTaco's mom?

    And the numbskulls say Linux doesn't have gaves, or doesn't get new games.

    DRM? That sucks. I skipped Half-Life 2 because of it. I guess you should wait for the crack. What a bunch of shit. Why should I buy it if I can't enjoy it :( I was all excited for a moment. Greedy bastards. Oh well it's just a game.

    you mean like on a.b.warez.0-day.games? 0r here?

    Woulda made sense to get the demo out before ppl want to warez the full version instead. Isn't much point to buying it untested if you've got a marginal system like mine.
