What other operating systems or platforms do you want to see Blizzard games on?

This poll idea was suggested by one of our new users, BeOS, and I found it suitable for our weekly polls.

So, what other platforms or operating systems do you want to see Blizzard games on? This does not include ports or translations from PC, but rather native builds that take advantage of each operating system's strengths.

So vote away, people...

I'd like to see them do a mac game, and more console stuff.

If SC: Ghost is sucessful, they will probably do more on consoles.

I vote "other" because it doesn't really matter to me what platforms they develop for.

Barring any preferences people may have to a specific platform as a function of the one(s) they own and the money they have available to invest in other platforms (that's a largely inclusive group of people, yes, but I don't see that position as relevent to this poll), I don't feel that it matters. What matters is whether or not the individual release is fun. At this point, all of the platforms are capable of hosting fun and impressive games so the point of the this-platform-that-platform argument is moot.

it does matter what platform they develop for, coz if they develop a game you like for a platform you don't have, then it becomes a big deal...

it's easy to be indifferent when one is using the dominant OS and the platform of choice for the game company involved...

I voted Other. Their games are good on the Mac and PC (I first started playing warcraft on an old mac)
also consoles I think is a good branch for them, though I think they should develop them themselves. Like they did for the SNES, even though the JL:TF game sucked so completely. I dug the Superman game they did.

I hate to be a nitpicker, but BeOS doesn't exist anymore, except in the hearts, minds, and BeBoxen of a few dedicated souls out there. Be dissolved as a corporation on March 15, 2002, after selling its operating system (BeOS) to Palm in 2001. Palm effectively discontinued BeOS. Slashdot labled BeOS as "The Little Operating System That Couldn't."

Oh, and I voted for Lindows.

I could care less what paltform they make games for. As long as the games are still fun and entertaining I will buy them.

And since this is Blizzard I do not think they will ever make a bad game, IMHO.

**The_Turks(ff7)** · 10-06-2002, 06:30 AM

They should make the next game DOS based!!!

j/k

i vote other because i could care less, but i would prefer the games on the windows

o btw wtf is Lindos?

I believe it's a Linux OS that basically looks and functions very much like Windows does. Though I'm under the impression the similarities are only skin-deep. I could be wrong though, so don't quote me on this.

In anycase, a worthless venture to make top-dollar games for. As well as Linux/Unix, and BeOS. Hell most developers won't even touch the Mac.

I want more console Blizzard games, such as Ghost. I think it would be pretty cool to play Warcraft III on Xbox Live actually. I think it would be best if Blizzard went for consoles too, and they probably will start making more console games if Ghost performs well.
