Left disappointed.
Does it need to make sense?
Not at all.
Mac gaming is on the rise, and so is casual gaming.
Add in the fact that most games are console ports that can run on the old Xbox360 hardware and even Mac users can play.
It just means more n00bs to pwn!
lol, which is really just changing the keys out for control alt and "win" key
Whats the point in a new keyboard just to change a few characters from a windows keys ect?
Do you get WOW on Mac?
If I won a shiny new iMac or something, I'd definitely play my Steam games on it because it has a nice $800+ IPS display built in, a nice form factor, etc. Good hardware, which explains the price for the most part, but the general user base tends to be hipsters or elitist rich kids which is a turn-off.
Anyway I am a pro illustrator and I use Photoshop all day. I doubt anyone on this forum uses it more then me.........and I do it on a PC ;)
releasing mac games SHOWS there are gamers on mac.
Anyways they did the keys right on the Anansi unlike on the blackwidow, it just annoys me time to time as they cheeped out a little.
It needs to have an apple logo on it somewhere :/
