[quote]I'd say most Mac users are starving for gamesThen don't buy a Mac. You shouldn't expect developers to cater to your choices after you buy hardware. If you're a gamer, the fact that most games don't run on Macs should be included in your purchasing decision.You can also dual-boot a Linux distro and run Sins under WINE, so I don't see any cause for complaint.[/quote] You're missing the point entirely.

[quote]I don't know if its your ideology or what? Does it sicken you to have alternatives?That's a pretty insulting assumption. A number of people at Stardock own Macs.

[quote]No, we are not going to make a MacOS version of the game.[/quote] Thanks for being honest. I'll honestly tell you I won't be buying your product -- DESPITE my ability to run it. See, I don't like XP, I never have. Used it to play games. I TRIED Vista, watched my games run much slower. This process is over for me. Now I have three Intel Macs that are MAC-ONLY. I can play Blizzard's games, and let's be honest -- Sins has been successful, but we all know the impending
