Say what?  How are Mac games "easier" to copy.  Any pirate for any CPU has got
tools to crack "warez". 

There are fewer Mac games because there is a smaller Mac market, and the 
demographics distribution of Mac ownders is different that that of most other
CPUs.  It is hard to have a big game market on a box whose market is dominated
by monochrome montiors.

Bottom line:  LC is out for 1 year -> Mac game market grows big time.
