What other operating systems or platforms do you want to see Blizzard games on?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

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.

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.

LONG LIVE BEOS!
Posted by: Xtren
Yeah well we all have our preferences.
Posted by: Null Actor
BEOS WILL BE REBORN!
Posted by: Shalome
If you say so.
Posted by: The_Turks(ff7)
DOS should be reborn too.
DOS = best games
The makers of DOS, they prolly feel stupid for selling it to Bill Gates for only $50,000. Bill prolly made like two billion dollars from it.
I am gonna sit here and wait for DOS 2000.
<starts waiting for the next thousand milenia>

Blind faith!
Anyway, I voted for other. I prefer that they stick to PC hardware.

Yeah, same here. Keep thier crap on pcs and away from consoles.
Posted by: Xtren
Why have one when you can have both though?
Posted by: Shark180
I Just was talking to a friend about this and we both agree that kepping it on Pc's would be the best even if on mac we don't want to waste your money on a consloe plus im not sure if this is right or not but we think that consloe's got out of date fast very very fast and the PC is more widly used thingy(I can't think of a word) but ya stay with computers and macs!!
Posted by: Xtren
I think Blizzared would make quite a bit of money selling console games actually. Blizzard is a hit developper, lots of people would buy. Concoles don't go out of date that fast, especially not the latest ones.

I voted for the Mac
Why?
Because the Mac deserves a little more love than most people give it.
Seriously, though. The Mac OS is damned sexy, and the company needs all the support it can get. Basically, anything to increase competition with Microsofty is a good thing in my books.
Runnerup for me was Lindows (but I only get to vote once unless I register twice)
