Personally, I wonder how companies like Macgamestore.com will survive in light of Apple’s new Mac App Store. Already you see some big hitter games being sold on the App Store, with more to come. How would other digital download Mac gaming stores fare with a soon to be 4000-pound behemoth as more big publishers flock to Apple? Well, I don’t really have a crystal ball but on to some news.
