Gurman's latest missive about the Mac mini as a gaming console has me thinking:
HAHA no it doesn't.
Apple is never, ever going to make a system that game developers, publishers, and gamers will *ever* flock to.
Doesn't matter how capable the hardware is or well-tuned the software is. Apple changes its mind, deprecates APIs, and ratfucks its partners. It's happened over and over again.
Apple is not now, and never has been, a company that takes games seriously as part of its core mission.
