Yes beleave it or not I have a idea! well if Pc users beggs for Nova to come out on windows worked I mean it is coming out (maybe) why can't we do the same? we could go bug some company to release games, so you do not to convert to the PC side. If they see all the sales they could get... and you know money makes the world go round!

Now all we need is a hit list! have any ideas

Stop setting a bad example. Be tolerant of PC users; you may have to be one some day.

Serenity now!

No, I'm not flaming him for being a PC user. I just didn't understand what he wrote.

ASW had a plan for Windows Nova when they first started working on it. It wasn't from any amount of whineing when it was finaly out. It takes more then a few hundred sigs. to make a company bring about its resources (or parting with intellectual property) for a port if they havent already had plans for it.
Although I would like to see some examples of such acts from PC companys that have ported do to a petition if it has ever happened.

Actually, I think he's a mac user who is saying that if begging for a PC Nova was all it took to get a port made, we should, as mac users, beg PC game companies to make their stuff for Mac... I think.

In any case, it doesn't really work since the market share for the Mac can often times not make up the difference in the cost of porting a game.

I believe what he's trying to say is that, given that EV Nova is being ported due to high demand for a Windows version, why shouldn't Mac users put this kind of pressure on companies to port more of their Windows games to the Mac OS. The rather obvious answer is that Mac users are 5% of the consumer market, with Windows having the other 95%. Compared to the Windows market, there's no such thing as high demand among Mac users, and most companies simply don't feel it's worth investing the resources to port their products.

Ok I was post happy at the time and my fingers were cramping and I was not thinking clearly this is what I mean.

Ok lets take the game half life for exsample some of you want it a conter strike to come out for mac right. Well companies are more likley to publish the game if they get letters or e-mails from mac users saying they would be willing to buy the software if it comes out for mac. My idea may not of made since the first time but I hope this made things more clear.

so I was wondering if you had any ideas of companys we might want to write to so they may make games for mac along with PC.

And Please forget my other post above (i have no idea what I was thinking (well I never do))
