Sorry its not over... you can't honestly look at the marketplace and tell me its over. Yes some folks do publish mac games at or around the same time as PC, but this number is hardly representative of the whole.
You don't have to be a genius to observe this, walk into any gaming store and look at the shelves... Games are not released for the Mac nearly in the number or quantity of the PC.
This is one of the primary areas that people use their home machines for, and this gap still exists today, and will likely exist until Mac has a market share more than a few percentage points.
Or until Microsoft stops buying out Mac game makers such as Bungie (makers of Halo)
HEY!! They make like 15 games for the Mac now, and some of them are almost current!!! :P
Yeah, PCs can be hard to use. Right clicking is just . . . so . . . hard.

Long download, but there's a nice cheapshot at imacs at the end.
I meant the age where there were no meaningful games for the Mac. There are now many, and the number grows.
I can understand the historical reasons for there not being many good games, and they're not necessarily about marketshare. I read John Carmack's .plan (kind of an old-time blog) about converting Quake to the Mac in OS 9, and it was a nightmare with the old OS's poor memory management. Now there's OS X, a programmer's paradise. Plus there weren't many good gaming graphics cards from the major manufacturers getting released for the Mac. Now you get the best from nVidia and ATI.
Like I said earlier, a game you want may not be available for the Mac, and that could be a reason not to buy, but that doesn't say that there aren't lots of the good games available for the Mac.
