I was just cruising the boards over at Wizards and read that
the new DnD character generator and other DI features
will be PC only.
Now, granted I am not really that interested in what I saw
revealed at GenCon and I don't necessarily need a digital
avatar of my character ...
but I feel that Mac users tend to
lose out due to "marketing" and "profit margins."
I know that many of the core Wizards folks use Macs
and certainly utilize them at conventions such as GenCon.
I would rather use my Mac and read Pathfinder on the couch
than buy Windows XP and pollute my harddrive just to
make pixelated dungeon maps and clunky avatars.
Blizzard already has me for 15 a month for that.

Ugh- not only do Wizards not want my money, they've locked me out and are throwing grabage at me from the windows.
I do all my work on a Mac, so has it looks like WotC has decided for me.I'll not be signing up for DI and Wizards can kiss my Fenian arse, cus that was the one aspect of this 4th Ed debacle I was actually excited by.
I'm sick of being a 4th Edition Moan, someone give me news on this that will cheer me up.
If you search the WOTC boards, you can actually find a thread where WotC staff confirm that:
A) Macs aren't supported for the DI.
B) But they are actually using Macs to do most of the work at the office, including designing 4th edition. And that they think ~25 or 30% of the userbase for 3.x uses a Mac at home or the office. (*Granted, this is from the same marketing data that told them that we'd prefer a webzine over a paper magazine for Dragon/Dungeon. So its a little suspect in my eyes)
Which is kinda ironic when you think about it.
In any case, it would suck for me if I actually planned on using the DI. But I don't, so I got over the annoyance of this pretty fast.
