[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 3771949, member: 18549"] I expect it'll look more like: [b]Gamers Seeking Gamers[/b] Looking for players for a 4th edition game on D&DI game table. Email Bob at [email]bob@bob.com[/email]. Mac users won't email Bob. Windows users will. Therefore 100% of Bob's players will be Windows users. It's only an issue if you have a pre-existing group that is now geographically isolated from one another, and has at least one member who can not or will not locate a Windows box to use for gaming. Is it really that hard to locate a Windows machine somewhere for a few hours each week? If it's such a problem, go find one of those places in which people play Counter-Strike for two bucks an hour, and rent a computer that runs DirectX. Hell, I can probably dig up three older Windows boxes in the next 24 hours that would meet the system specs, and the owners would give them to me for free, just to get them out of their basements. Having the vast majority of the market share means that there are a ton of people who upgraded and still have their old systems kicking around. I bet that, for under $50, every single mac user who wants to use the game table could find an old Windows machine for just that purpose. If they're so desperate to use it, it's probably worth the money. [/QUOTE]
