Transgaming Technologies and Mac Developers
ZerocarboN writes "With such current Mac publishers as Aspyr and MacSoft typically spending months to bring games to the Mac, Mr. State said: "We imagine that they are re-evaluating their business models. Our technology does revolutionize how games are brought to the Mac, which we believe will result in a paradigm shift in the Mac game publishing landscape." He added that TransGaming has no plans to license Cider to other companies, but "we are always open to discussion.""
"Now, as Apple's market share grows"
What the hell are you talking about?
Apple's marketshare continues to decline. It has fallen all the way down to about 2 percent of the worldwide market.
No publishers are 'beginning to consider making native' Mac games. There are still some companies that get one of the remaining Mac port house to do quick and dirty ports but with everyone running Windows on Intel Macs now, those companies are not going to be around much longer.
Ah man, a dig at Windows stability! That's clever! No really, that's pure genius! You know, because of problems MS has had with stability. And what a setup! First you start off from the point of view that there's no point in playing Windows games on a Mac. But then -- and this is the genius -- you use your supposed diatribe to launch the actual punchline: A "NO CARRIER" signal, indicating a disconnected dialup connection, presumably due to some sort of malfunction under Windows -- the very platform which you were supposedly defending! Man, whew.. let me catch my breath. You, sir, are a born comedian, and it is a privelage for us all to have witnessed your wit here on Slashdot.

Oh give it a rest!
Where the fuck do you Apple kooks get this crap! Apple's worldwide marketshare has been in a constant decline ever since Jobs took over.
The latest worldwide marketshare for Apple is somewhere between 2.2 and 2.0 percent of the market - and falling at a fairly steady rate.
