	creativepro.com - MacSoft Unveils Games Lineup
		MacSoft's Macworld Expo lineup is heavily influenced by the company's previously announced relationship with PC game publisher Hasbro Interactive -- at Macworld Expo New York in July, 2000, MacSoft announced a 13 title publishing deal with Hasbro.
		MacSoft announced that it has acquired the Mac publishing rights to Master of Orion III, a turn-based strategy game currently in development by Quicksilver Software, Inc. The game is scheduled for a release in early 2002, and is being developed simultaneously for the Mac and PC.
		MacSoft is also using the Macworld Expo event to show off Pong -- another modern rework of a certified arcade classic, arguably one of the progenitors of video game entertainment as we know it.

	Applelinks.com: Macworld Gaming - On the Road with MacSoft
		In a previous report I talked about some of the new titles that MacSoft announced...the RPG adventure Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption, the arcade/action game Beachhead 2000, the classic strategy game Risk 2, the Rainbow Six expansion pack Rogue Spear, and Wheel of Fortune with Vanna White and Jeopardy with Alex Trebek.
		It was comfy, and the MacSoft gang were an entertaining bunch, so I managed to come up with a few other questions to kill time until lunch.
		MacSoft has continuously brought us some of the greatest games the Mac has seen, and thankfully, they show no signs of slowing down.

		We asked MacSoft about rumors we had heard concerning MechWarrior 3 for the Mac, but the the only response was "We can any such rumors".

		IMG recently caught up with MacSoft's Al Schilling to talk about their latest title, and to get updates on Halo, NWN, and more.
		IMG: Ever since Destineer bought MacSoft from Infogrammes, MacSoft has released a steady stream of AAA titles and has really made an impressive comeback as one of the premier Macintosh gaming publishers.
		Having been with MacSoft while we went from being a tiny little publisher to becoming the largest Macintosh consumer software publisher in the world, it really pained me to watch our production drop off as dramatically as it did in 2002.

	MacGamer - Get In The Game
		MacGamer will be taking a look at piracy over the next three Wednesdays in hopes of dispelling some myths, adding some clarity and giving Mac gamers the ammunition they need to lend true support to the market they love.
		His grave convern over piracy should concern us all; if Tamte, a man whose finger is on the pulse of the Mac gaming world (both past and future) is worried that rampant software theft is the death knell of quality Mac gaming, then Mac-loving time-wasters should hearken.
		Price does not seem to be a factor in affecting piracy rates (partially substantiated by the willingness of people to steal $14.99 movies or songs they could easily get for $.99).
