(Paradise has run on > non-unix/-windows systems, I even read about mac). Macs have Unix underneath things these days, which is why the TT port to OS X was possible. But... to your average mac user, it looks terrible. They are used to things that are written against the mac toolkits, not the unix toolkits, and the mac toolkits have a familiar and consistent "look and feel" which is a main reason for people buying macs in the first place. And they look a lot nicer besides. This is not to say that we wouldn't get any players, but we'd be targeting a platform that has maybe a 10% market share to start with, and many of whose players would take one look at the client and bail. In the absence of a windows client, I can't see focusing effort there; it's fighting with two hands tied behind our backs.
