Apple went from supporting games on the Apple ][ line, to discouraging games on the Mac, to supporting games again with Pippin, to not really supporting them on the Mac but still claiming there were games on their platforms (idTech Rage demo, yaaaay?), to... supporting games again. Is anyone buying this? Is this thing on? I realize companies shift, but Apple has done a lot of shifting when it comes to gaming.
