...but it's probably near the bottom of their platform list, just above the Wii version. :?

Seriously, supporting Mac isn't easy, you knew before you got a mac that playing games is almost non-existent. Dual boot windows and problem is solved.

Linux users do this to play on steam.
I find it a pain but it's better than nothing. I'm planning to do a windows based project soon, which I am dreading as I literally can only do it on windows, but my solution is to have my laptop next to me running Ubuntu and my workstation on Windows that way I can keep my sanity.
I realise this is not possible for Mac users unless they have a lot of money and have a mac desktop they can dual boot and a macbook.
But it's what I'm doing with my win/linux when Hawken comes out!

I thought the games on steam are platform independent? Meaning just because it's on steam doesn't mean it's compatible with macs unless it says so?
If I'm wrong then that's awesome!

But still, if steam has proven anything, there is a demand for indie games on mac.
So... please? maybe!?

It's more likely that Mac users will just have to run Boot Camp or an equivalent.

Then again, I'm not sure Adhesive Games is the best choice for this with such a limited number of devs (though that's a common excuse for not trying).
Though if it comes out on the Mac, then I want it for Linux as that's my primary OS and dual-booting Windows and having to switch over every time I want to play is totally inconvenient. (Yes I'm a console gamer but I'm much much more likely to play a PC game if there's a Linux version.)
Come join the Hawken IRC Channel and chat about Hawken: #hawkenscrim on irc.quakenet.net

I have a mac and I hate it, but I switched from a PC to a mac, and being a casual gamer I would hate to switch back to a PC.

While I am primarily a mac user and would love for Hawken to be mac compatible, the chances are sadly slim. Mostly because the mac user group is much smaller than PC.
On the other side, saying that buying a mac for gaming is a terrible idea is a common stereotype on the internet. Currently any mac on the market is more than suited for gaming. And soon enough, the intel sandybridge processor is coming shipped directly, thus adding even more power. The only real argument I see is that there are not many games compatible with macs, but even that argument is soon to turn invalid, because, one, there are already plenty of games adapting to OSX, and two, many large engine(that include the unreal engine) have added support to a mac release.
After writing that, I noticed that the possibility of a OSX-compatible version of Hawken is high.
I would finally like to mention I am not a "mac fanboy" I'm am just defending a strong platform.
Also, I do own a PC and have a dual-boot with Win on my iMac.
