Now that the Apple® Mac Pro has been released with two Dual-core Intel® Xeon processors, I wonder how long it will take for a certain sector to notice. This is the time for a revolution in the gaming industry. Games usually made for Windows PC can now reach their full potential: on a Mac.
Yes it is true that the new Macs that have Intel chips can run games in MS Windows (requires a license) using Boot Camp™ or Parallels™, but the ideal solution is for the games to be written for the OS X platform, and to take advantage of the processing power that the two Dual-core Xeon processors give you as a game developer.
Why isn’t there more discussion about this subject? The ultimate gaming system is no longer a high-end media PC, or a console like XBOX 360 or PS3. Oh no. It is the Mac Pro. Game developers: the power is yours for the taking.
Now go write some code.
In the comments section, please start a list of PC games you would like to see written natively for OS X. I will start it off with the obvious: Halo, Counter-Strike, and any other Steam games.
