WWDC 2007 Updates – Gamers rejoice? ID and EA Games to the mac

Posted on the June 11th, 2007 under Apple,Interesting by

While I do not get to play many games with the limited free time I have, Steve Jobs just announced that EA Games and ID Games have committed to bringing gaming back to the Mac. Sounds like there will be a lot more info out at E3, but there was quite an impressive lineup ahead from EA.

I believe that this is a huge step forward for the mac, and how people are really making the switch from windows.

Just a reminder, if you are a Apple fan, don’t forget the WWDC 2007 Keynote by our favorite fellow Steve Jobs is today.   I am not positive what is going to be announced, I am sure they will be covering the iPhone and Leopard. The keynote starts at 1pm east coast time.

Some places to catch the live keynote coverage:
