If that's how people are thinking (ie beg to get _any_ quality games) then
I'll certainly agree it sucks. Badly.

God knows there are a number of extremely high quality Mac games around at
the moment. (Am I the only one over 6 years old who plays Pop!
incidentally? ;) )

Maybe Apple could do some kind of deal with the smaller companies to push
the games a little. 

But it's still nice to have the choice, so asking for other options isn't
necessarily a bad thing...
