Not really so much on it as using it as a dumb video terminal then though.

I know this is tongue and cheek, but the game is coming out in 3 days...the chance of yet another delay is basically nil.

This didn't age very well. Let's pretend it hasn't been released yet.

No, but with the 15% commission tier for <$1m companies, you can expect an Indie renaissance.

People have been promising an indie renaissance on Macs for about 10 years.. I'll be happy to see it, but I'll also believe it when I see it.

It will be fascinating to see how the blending of iOS and Mac App stores plays out.
There are more than a few games in the iOS app store....

Why? Indie games aren't exactly known as being compute intensive, and the commission tier for macs and PCs is 0% if you self distribute.

The Mac app store is a terrible platform for distributing games. People do not look there for them, and they have a bad reputation of breaking or being left unmaintained. It has awful discoverability and is filled with trash. Customers also prefer to get them on Steam anyway (or on consoles). This is especially true if a game has online support. Most other distribution platforms also give customers access to the game on any platform, rather than locking them to one. It doesn't really offer the consumer anything, and for a developer who will have to target Windows and Steam anyway to have any chance of making money, it isn't really that enticing, even with a larger revenue share.
