[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 269731, member: 20564"] hmm, some very goods point you raised there. I've always been a console gamer, so the lack of mac games has never bothered me that much. But I think you're absolutely right. If you're building a game to a set series of specs, it will be optimised for those specs, but as you said, if computer game developers decide to throw in more features, effects, levels etc., then the computer user must conform to the new specs created for that game. I think it's for that reason that I've always preferred console gaming. Also, since consoles are dedicated gaming machines, you know it's going to perform well, and you know what it can and can't do. Also, having the game itself on a disc or cartridge I feel is a clear advantage over a file or multiple files on a HD - everything is then self contained, all the files are where they need to be and so on.
