That guy being yourself?
Steam PREDATES the Apple App store by five years, and laid all the non communication level groundwork for such a distribution platform. ATT, Cox and all other telecom services working on their end as well to provide the bandwidth. Apple just waited for all the groundwork to be laid for it in the key areas (3G to be commonplace, the disro model to be hashed out, smartphones becoming a status symbol)
I'm not bashing Apple because they made a PoS that works (PoS not to be confused with a POS) I'm just saying they're not innovating here in any way shape or form.
Now as for Carmak he's just busy being Apple's newest "cool guy you attractive people with lots of money and are obviously important should listen to". I just have one thing to say to him. Your game better be the biggest thign to hit FPS's since Counter Strike AND Halo combined, because aligning with Apple like you have is a VERY bold statement in a community that pays for your bread and butter, and as a majority dislikes Apple.
