Re: Mac Games: What to look for in 2006
All the major game makers for Mac are working on it in one way or the other, bringing their developers up to speed, converting their libraries to work with Xcode if they're not already, and so on. Glenda Adams from Aspyr has articulated the most news publicly about it; she said that they're starting with their most popular titles at the moment (makes sense; those are the ones most likely to have a financial impact when Intel Macs begin to ship), and they're working their way through their back catalog to find games that make sense to upgrade based on the amount of work they'll take and the impact they're likely to have.
My own expectation is that original Mac game makers -- especially shareware and non-retail publishers -- will probably make the biggest impact at first, with the major commercial Mac game publishers following in pretty short order.
