Apple is pushing hard to make the Mac relevant in gaming
mikethemartian said:Yet Windows systems don’t seem to have any problems with “complexity” given the widespread availability of games on that system.
I think the articles should say that Apple is trying to reboot gaming on the mac. Apple has the largest mobile gaming platform and has a quality development platform. Apple has completely abandon the X86 platform so trying to attract game developers the old way is a waste of time. Getting developers to develop games that span from mobile to desktop is probably Apples best bet. Also of course providing the tools to move games from traditional gaming platforms to the Apple platform.
Apple will not support alternative video cards so the tools to port to Apples alternative is paramount, along with continued hardware development.
The other thing that I would like to see from Apple that I think would help with this transition is a version of the Apple TV with the power level closer to a Mac than an iPhone. -
Seriously, Apple's flagship Macs are now less expensive than ever before
