GameSpy info inaccurate

GameSpy has in the past been used legally in Mac games (NWN comes to mind). However, after being acquired by IGN they raised their prices to the point that it has joined Havok as one of the pieces of middleware that is prohibitive to Mac game porting. The Microsoft network technology is the stuff that is a primary thing standing in the way of Mac<->PC networking in Mac ports, but I'm not sure what it's called. Anyone who is a bit more authoritative on these topics should definitely amend that part of the article, because as it currently stands it's definitely factually incorrect. --Beckism

Havok question

I know Havok has been an issue for Mac gaming in the past, but Macsoft announced Age of Empires III for Mac (should be shipping in late Sept). How is this possible? Did Havok finally offer some reasonable pricing for the Mac platform? 209.236.231.253 01:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The porters of AoE III are performing a small miracle; they're ripping the Havok engine out of the game and replacing it with the more Mac-friendly NovodeX engine. Incidentally, Havok will be making an appearance on the Mac in an upcoming Blizzard game(s), but don't expect it to become a regular occurance -- Blizzard has a lot of clout and money to wring special licensing deals out of the Havok guys. This, plus TransGaming Technologies' Cider announcement, means that this article could use a bit of updating. Perhaps I'll tackle it when I have some free time.
