No, what sucks is that Mac gamers _think_ they have to beg to get any
quality games at all. If even one tenth of the energy that went into
begging for PC scraps was redirected to actively supporting Mac-first or
Mac-only shareware and hobbyist developers, some of these game makers
would have enough revenue to keep themselves in business.

The longer we delude ourselves into thinking we have to have every AAA
list PC title, the shorter the life expectancy of the MacOS as an
entertainment platform can be expected.
