There may be technical reasons for that, such as keeping the version numbers in sync for multiplayer compatibility.
You don't need to change the PC version to fit the Macintosh even for multiplayer (and especially since this game has no multiplayer mode at all). Efficiency and compatibility would demand the opposite.
They may also have made further minor changes not mentioned in the changelog that apply to the game on all platforms.Certainly because why list all changes and fixes in a changelog. Something must be left to the imagination!
If you find fault with my technical explanations, do tellThey are simply speculative and in some cases veiled excuses such as the Tahoma font and intro video explanations, but you have now admitted that.
I think I explained fairly well earlier why those fixes on the whole don't seem to apply to bugs that were introduced years ago but in relatively new code :).No, actually you didn't. With bug #3 your bias blatantly prevented you from even entertaining the notion that it could be a long standing bug. Valve's history suggests otherwise.
