Porting games to Mac just got easier 1 Year, 8 Months ago

Apparently ATI has released a tool that allows developers to easily convert DirectX (the APIs used in Windows games) to OpenGL (APIs for Mac and Linux games - as well as Windows).

This tool is opensource:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hlsl2glsl

Mac gaming has just got a little bit more interesting.

Not really, all the mac game developers/porters will have these tools already.
