But only to Blizzard. So we still won't see all those other Havok based games.

It's a start -- and hopefully this will open the door so that it actually can get further use and life on the Mac.

Havok licensing fees are too high. The Mac port companies cannot afford the licensing fees for Havok. Only reason Blizzard can is because they have deep pockets.

*Sigh* A fella tries to be a raving optimist for a day, and all he gets is shot down.

It's awesome Blizzard is licensing it (Starcraft 2?). I'm just repeating what Macsoft and Aspyr have stated in the past.

Honestly I doubt that is the reason. Havok licensing cost for Mac was rumored to be around $100k. I bet even Blizzard will think that's ridiculous.

IMG states "hundreds of thousands of dollars". I don't know.
I'm all about a new Starcraft though.

You do know that $100k is just a drop in the money ocean Blizzard and Vivendi is currently swimming in, right?

I don't care if Blizzard didn't make it... I want it anyway!
