Blizzard Entertainment only needed to hire 2 mac-specific programmers to
keep Mac versions of their software completely current with their Windows
counterparts during development and when patches are released.
Unfortunately, I get the impression that LEGO’s programmers are using a very
proprietary tool such as Microsoft Visual C++, and so they are stuck
releasing Windows-only software. That is why I suggested getting some
programers who are more flexible.

We develop everything on a cross-platform engine, have a look at it at
http://qdn.qubesoft.com.
We also use cross-platform build systems, use gnu emacs instead of a
proprietory editors like Microsoft Visual C++ and have developers who
use boxes that don’t run Microsoft Windows.
Our engine runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Playstation 2 and
XBox at the moment. A build of LDD for Playstation would be within the
realms of possibility, it just depends on if there’s a business case
for it. LDD is only a small project (normally 2 people) so LEGO aren’t
going to invest in something that won’t be used. If you want a build
for your favourite platform just send a message to LEGO by posting in
lugnet news and if enough people post I’m sure the right people will
get the message.

The website says Mac OS X coming soon. When it comes, is there any chance we
will ever see a Mac version of any Lego software? Or can you comment on that?
