Hey all you SOGsters,
I just logged into GameRanger a moment ago - a place I don't visit nearly as much as I used to and I'm sure all of you can relate - the following message was presented to me. I know that the lot of you don't much prefer the GameRanger scene these days, but I still thought you'd find this recently change to its service - at the very least - interesting.
"Welcome to GameRanger Premium, SiP™. Thank you for signing up.
GameRanger available for PC as well as Mac
Hold onto your seats, this could be a wild ride!
GameRanger is now available for PC as well as Mac. This was the number one requested feature in the recent GameRanger survey.
What this means is you can now continue to use GameRanger on Windows in BootCamp, or in a VM such as Parallels or VMware for older games. You don't need to lose contact with your Mac friends just because you've booted into Windows. There are over 500 PC games already supported, so you can expect this to become popular quickly.
This doesn't automatically mean you can play against PC users with your Mac games. Not all games are compatible, and GameRanger can't help that. The GameRanger website lists the ones that are. At the very least, it means you can keep in contact with your PC friends, and GameRanger will be a more lively place as a result. For the games that are compatible, it means you'll find a lot more people to play against, so it will be easier to find a game.
Now go forth and tell your PC friends to check it out!"
