You must have read MacOS Rumors today. There haven't been any official
press announcements from Apple regarding expanded game support at WWDC
today, at least none that have been propogated by Apple's Web site or
through the usual news channels.

Checking the WWDC conference schedule at
<http://developer.apple.com/wwdc98/>, it's apparent that Quicktime
development is taking center stage. There are also some dicussions on
technology potentially related to gaming, like DVD and USB. So far, I can
only find one conference that's specific to gaming: #138, MacOS Game
Technology API's, confirmed for Hall C at 11:30 AM.

Now admittedly, there are a whole bunch of holes in the schedule posted on
the WWDC Web site. Still, I find it hard to believe that Apple would
suddenly dump a bunch of forums on gaming at this late date, with less
than a week before the conference begins. Presuming the rumors are true, I
wonder how many more developers are going to scramble to buy a ticket and
the exorbitant plane fare that such a trip would incur to attend a handful
of game sessions at WWDC?
