Will Boot Camp Affect Mac Games? Not Those from Aspyr Media

In a recent note to us, Aspyr Media included its view.

Many have asked us here at Aspyr about the recent Boot Camp announcement and its impact on Mac gaming and our company. Our stance is pretty simple and comes from experience: The more hardware Apple sells, the more Mac games we will sell. Apple's recently announced OS feature, Boot Camp, is sure to sell more machines. After 10 years of developing games for the Macintosh we've learned that things change, industries evolve and that we must anticipate it and grow. We consider our ability to be quick and nimble a competitive advantage. These changes are the kinds of things we crave because it means things are getting better for the consumer. After all, when was the last time you heard people talk this much about Mac gaming?

Aspyr will continue to focus on 3 things:

1. Ship native Mac games as quickly as possible.
   
2. Deliver the best gaming experience and best support possible for our Mac customers.
   
3. Offer even more choices to Mac gamers.
   

Aspyr's leadership in the Mac gaming market is important to us, as is our commitment to being a great publisher for all video game platforms. With titles such as Dreamfall, Spellforce 2 and Gothic 3, we're fulfilling our vision to deliver an incredible entertainment experience to the world. We do not fear change; we anticipate it and kiss it right on the lips. So pucker up Boot Camp.

That's nice to know since Aspyr publishes our favorite 3D game, Call of Duty. [Bill Fox]
