Blizzard: We won't stop Mac development
Blizzard Entertainment, creators of highly addictive cross-platform games like World of
Warcraft (among others) have announced their intentions to continue work on Mac-native games. In a statement earlier in the week, the
company said, “We have a recognized track record of native Mac OS support, and we have no plans to break with
that tradition. We understand that our Mac player base prefers native software whenever possible, and our cross-platform
development practice addresses that."Translation: Just because Mac OS 10.5 will allow you to very easily run Windows on your Intel Mac, Blizzard (and other Mac game developers, we're betting) won't be giving up the ghost. So fear not! Now if you'll excuse me, it's been a whole ninety minutes since I've played World of Warcraft, and I'm starting to twitch a little.

even IF I can easily boot to windows (which I can't because I haven't the money to shell out for a MacBook Pro at the moment), I don't want to! there's a REASON why I CHOSE mac - and one is actually because Blizzard supports it. (I play WoW and Starcraft on a daily basis)
Bring on Diablo III, b*tches...

Which is actually what they did with Starcraft Ghost!
