Auto Assault & City of Villains Revealed

NCsoft sends along the roster of games they will be showing off at next month's E3, which offers first details on Auto Assault, NetDevil's Mad Max-style MMORPG, and reveals an evil City of Villains expansion for City of Heroes:
Auto Assault —Combine fast-paced vehicular combat with high-tech, futuristic weaponry and hundreds of intense skills and you get Auto Assault – a unique departure from traditional Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs). Hop in your own customized cars, semis, and motorcycles and prepare to fight the mutated creatures and bandits of Auto Assault's post-apocalyptic world. Battle other players both in arenas and in epic race vs. race wars for control of the regions in a devastated Earth. Auto Assault uses the power of the Havok™ physics engine to let you make insane jumps, send obstacles flying and even blast bridges, buildings, fences and trees with your car-mounted rockets. Anything you can hit, you can destroy!

City of Villains—Want to play the bad guy in Paragon City? You’ll get your chance in Cryptic Studios’ City of Villains, currently under development and to be shown in limited play at E3. While City of Heroes (www.cityofheroes.com) is ready for an April 28 launch, Cryptic developers already are working on the first major expansion to the game that will allow players to take on the role of villain in Paragon’s modern metropolis. Turn the tide on all the heroes and heroines and lead your crime syndicate into battle in the impressive 3D backdrop of Paragon City.

K, I'm missing something here...... what is it about SJG being "mac-obsessed" that has to do with them not doing something with the license? This is the first I had ever heard they were mac-obsessed.... I mean, aside from Origin System's AutoDuel game which happened to have a version on the Apple II and Mac, I don't know what this refers to. I mean, I know he uses a Mac too, but I don't see why that would have to do with anything (at most I could see that maybe he would want a company that did a new AutoDuel game to do a Mac version as well, but I can't see what would be so terrible about this anyway).

Could you shed some light on this? Also, I thought SJG had been willing to license AutoDuel/Car Wars.... and in fact, I recall that they did license it to some company to do some sort of AutoDuel Online game which was going to be done with some sort of big pods where people would go to gaming centers and play it.... or something like that.

Anyway though, could you explain what you meant here? I don't even remember that use of the license having anything to do with the Mac. I mean, were you saying that like SJG only wants to give a license to someone who would do a Mac version of whatever game they develop? Or what?
