Talked to a friend yesterday who said that the games industry is actually cutting back on making games for Mac, or mac versions, as there is no business in it right now?
I thought it was the other way around, and that mac is becoming more popular and that more gamers will buy macs eventually and want games for their mac as well?
Anyone know anything on this?

I would say that there will be less games for mac, or poorer ports of PC games for mac, as macs can now run Windows.

With Mac games the publishers/developers get less money than with the old pong machine.
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look and do nothing.

Macs are going to start seeing more games, because now macs are catering to a wider variety of people, at different price points. If you do your research, the % of computer sales of macs has grown quite a bit.
