Alex I'm not yelling at you but for someone who claims to be an analyst that is pretty much the definition of a straw man argument. The straight truth is in the grand scheme very few people have mac desktops/laptops. Somewhere between 6-10% depending on where you get your information. Assuming that the same percentage of pc users play MMOs as Mac users you would only be growing your player base by 6-10% by adding MAC compatibility. Would the extra cost be made up in MAC subscribers? Possibly, however, if you use the same amount of money in game improvements and marketing you would probably have a much higher ROI.
