You would think we would be more enthusiastic? Havok is a day late and a dollar short, and will likely be obsolete when UE3 games are no longer needing it.

A day? More like 2 years late mate. But its showing that mac gaming is still a market and that people like Blizzard are able and willing to put big money into making sure they have the tech they want to provide these games for the mac.

Any idea how much it will be to licence the UE3 engine? Big money, not everyone will be able to afford it, so its good to have alternatives.

is it sarcastic question week or somthing mate? Of course it is, my point is simply, is it better to have just UE3 available for the mac (ie including Ageia) or Ageia plus Havok?
