Errr, not to discount your report too much here, but userland software should never cause a kernel panic. There are plenty of ways to cause one, accidentally or intentionally, but the only way a *game* could cause one is if there's a hole in the OS, no matter how bad their coding is.

Wrong again. The developer directly admitted a bit of code that was a direct conflict with OSX (I believe it was related to QuickTime).

Okay, so what you're telling me is that I can replicate this bit of unprivileged code and crash any OS X system I like. Nice. Has Apple issued a patch for this behavior then?
