Porting issues
Is it just me, or does every other platform, regardless of processor, endian-ness, format, etc. get these games at the same time while it takes 4-6 months to get it on our platform (besides lack of funding or outright animosity to Macintosh users). Is it that hard to do a port, or is there something inherently difficult in writing programs for the MacOS (esp OSX) that makes this such a difficult problem? My programming experience tells me that the latter isn't the case, and the former should not be the case either if the original code isn't total c***. If the original code is total c***, then how can it be successful/working on so many other platforms?
