How would it not be accurate? Both developers have expressed interest in doing
a Mac version(s) of their game(s), go to SSG's web page to see their
"interest". Both
publishers have expressed little interest in doing so. I would imagine the
only reason
"Riven" made it to Macs is because Cyan had more clout than SSG.

What really sucks is that Mac Gamers now have to beg to get their favorite games
ported? Want "xyzzy" ? Send e-mail to the developer/publisher and let 'em
know how
much you want it! What a load of crap.
