Just some more points regarding the Mac App Store: from what I can tell, going on sale there is a really good move. They have very few games right now. Deathspank for example did very well there by having a huge sale -- and now it has the reviews to carry more sales + sell the expansions. Also, many of the big games that are sold there (the GTA games for example) aren't really programmed for OSX: they just use Transgaming's Cider which is like Wine -- an emulation layer. The performance isn't amazing, so there are even fewer good game choices.

Finally, your games are there, but they don't appear in any of the easy to find categories that appear on the right side of the screen ('Gorgeous Games', 'Great Role-playing games', 'Adventure Games'...). You have to go all the way down the page and click on RPGs to find them.

Mines that can move? Check. Cloaked mines? Check. Cloaked moving mines? Hmm, am I that evil?

sometimes debugging is like the movie Groundhog Day - you watch the same event happen over and over and over again
