I have no idea. I would venture a guess that it is, but I don't do computer 
games.


> the Mac platform is very limiting on software

It is very unusual for me to find software that I want to run that doesn't 
work on a Mac. The software that caused me to spend $79 on VMware was SPSS.

I guess the key phrase here is "that I want to run". I think that I must be 
near the center of the Mac's target user base. In my opinion it does a 
better job of running the software that I *do* want to run, like Photoshop 
and Lightroom and Mulberry and Firefox and InDesign and terminals and iTunes.
