The arrival of Apple-made software that makes it possible to run Windows XP natively on Intel-based Macs poses as many challenges to Mac game publishers as it does opportunities. But the game makers Macworld spoke to focused on the boost that Boot Camp potentially brings to the Mac gaming market.

“As a gamer, I think it’s some of the best news to come from Apple, ever,” said Peter Tamte, president of MacSoft owner Destineer.

Other game publishers took a more wait-and-see stance. Glenda Adams, director of development with Aspyr Media, says there are a number of questions that need to be answered to truly gauge the impact of Boot Camp on the Mac game market—chief among them, whether gamers will want to dual-boot Macs and how many Mac users will continue to buy games. Still, she sees potential upsides stemming from Boot Camp’s release.
