This doesn't seem that unlikely to me. If Apple wants its OS to be taken seriously, having a lot of games running on it is very much needed.

I don't think OS would be an issue really. I can't see how they've suffered significantly not having games when 90% of their potential PC userbase doesn't even play them. To buy them for games on their OS would be like Microsoft adding Blu Ray to the Xbox 360 and only half the movies work.

 

Where did you read that only 10% of PC owners play games?

Even if that's true, in many households the younger family members play PC games (even if they're pirated). It would help Apple if their computers ran those games. The same way that even pirated Windows copies contribute to Microsoft's business, as it gets more people used to their OS, encouraging companies to buy what their users are familiar with. Think of games as part of the critical mass required to increase Apple's market share.

Or I could be totally wrong...
