I never played blizzard games on mac, but I'd be curious as to how the server responded to requests from PC and mac gamers. Since the servers are receiving non PS or XB-specific code (it could be a common soap interface for all we know), then I don't see exactly how hard it would be to make it cross-platform compatible, imho. Edit: Oh, wait. For xbox they are required to use the live servers and the xbox api aren't they? |
Yeah they're forced to use Xbox Live servers, but when most of the games aren't dedicated servers and the servers only run matchmaking, I don't think it'd be impossible for them to atleast make matchmaking against other people in a different matchmaking server, especially when the leaderboards on the game were cross platform. Then again I know zero about programming and only making my opinion based on what has been done.
