In Which Our Protagonist Complains About video games.

This is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for the PC. It has been out since November 2003.

This is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for Mac.
It has been out since September 2004.

Can you spot the difference?

Now, here's the fun part. Aspyr has three of these overpriced ports in the Top 15 Bestselling Mac Games (on amazon.com at the time of this post. Admittedly, most of this list is taken up by World of Warcraft in various iterations and accessories).

Yes yes, I know the damn reason why. Bilking idiot Intel Mac users who are too lazy or stupid or 'cheap' to buy a copy of Windows and set up Boot Camp; or people who can't afford an Intel Mac but can afford to pay out the nose for secondhand games. Doesn't mean I have to enjoy it.



And this is where I discover my copy of the mac version is within line of sight of where I am writing this. fuuuuuck.
