I have seen some people who do this in various multiplayer games and I do it myself and thought I would suggest it if it hasn't been done already. When you play games online after your gamer tag I thought it would be a good idea to add (Mac) to the ending. Kind of like what people do with clan tags it seems to me it might be a small thing that might show developers and people in the industry that someone is in fact playing this game on a mac. It also might show some people on the PC that the game they love is infact availible on something else.

This is just basically cheap advertising I guess (To Whom It May Concern) that Mac users are playing these games and early demos and hopefully more developers will take the mac more seriously.

Just My 2 Cents - Now back to playing UT2K3

Heh, yeah I've also thought about this; it would be kinda cool to know if there were other Mac users in an online deathmatch where PC/Mac users play together like UT2k3, SoF II, RtCW, etc.

Plus, it also lets all those pro PC gamers know who the really easy targets are!
