- You're misinformed. BF1942 for Mac has been out for a long time now. As the article plainly states, this is the DEMO, not the release of the game. Demo's always come out after the release of the game.

- Since before Doom 3. It's been like that for as long as I can remember. Except on consoles, but even sometimes then. If you don't believe me, just think of it from a logical standpoint. Why release a demo of a game before it comes out? You get your Demo out to the masses, no one likes it, therefore no one buys it, and there goes years of developing down the drain. Now, get your demo out after the release, you have all the initial buyers, then have the demo come out, and pick up the rest of the buyers that way.

- It's unfortunate that Mac users had to wait so long for this game, but hopefully this'll mean a new influx of players. You've got take into account that BF1942 is a DirectX game, and DirectX only exists on Windows based platforms. For the Mac, they had to rewrite the renderer to use OpenGL or some other OSX capable API, which probably took a long time.
Oh and, is it compatible with the Windows version of BF1942?
