'Cider' could see PC/Linux/Mac game releases
,----[ Quote ]
| TransGaming, which has developed Cider, said:
|
| "Cider-enabled titles are just as native as any other Mac game on
| an Intel-based Mac. There is no virtualization or similar step
| involved -- Cider loads the game directly into memory and executes thec
| ode, which means it is running directly in Mac OS X. The game simply
| relies on Cider's implementation of the Win32 and DirectX APIs
| (Application Programming Interfaces), instead of those found in Windows."
|
| "What we would ultimately like to see is the vast majority of PC titles
| being launched as Windows/Mac or, better yet, Windows/Linux/Mac hybrids.W
| e believe that users should be able to buy their games in whatever store
| they want, and play them on whatever platform they want."
