Because Mac OSX has the ability for such things integrated into it.
Windows doesn't.

It's a guess but I'm fairly certain that's why. I mean I can record pretty happily under Linux, where as I hear windows recording programs can be a little clunky. I guess it's something to do with the UNIX past of Linux and OSX, but as to what it is, I have no idea.


In other words, blame Microsoft, not Blizzard.

if GameCam and Fraps can make it possible to capture in-game, why shouldnt Blizzard be able to make it into a PC client as well?

Because it's not integrated into the OS, I'm guessing osX has some decent handling of video stream recording, while windows doesn't (integrated, not talking about programs).

I thought I was pretty clear on that.

Mac users are the sort of hip artistic types that might use this?

Makes up for their lack of love from their parents?

Allows another stupid Mac and PC commercial?

Mac: "What's that you're doing there PC?"
PC: "Well mac I'm playing games..."
Mac: (raised eyebrow) "You're playing games?"
PC: (Firmly) Yes Mac I am playing computer games... why?
Mac: Oh it's nothing it's just... why would you PLAY computer games when you could watch videos of other people playing games, or better yet you could look at thie boxes in the windows of shops and take pictures of them to edit in iLife, or you could write a song about what it MIGHT be like to play the game and record it in Garageband.
PC looks upset and wanders off camera right, Mac brings out his iPhone and wanders about trying to find a signal, Caption appears centre screen "Mac, It makes sense"


And that, as they say, is that.

Because macs also have integrated itunes controls.

In other words, probably because Apple makes it easy for Blizzard to do so, while Microsoft is making it hard probably even more so on Vista, with all the protected video paths and such.

Bootcamp solved that. Browse the net, make movies, etc etc in OS X then boot into Windows and play games.

That is pretty much the reason why, but that doesn't mean the developers aren't looking into a similar feature for WoW running on Windows machines :-)

I think you are quite right on this... I think I heard somewhere that Mac machines also have some built-in hardware support for stuff like recording videos, but I am not entirely sure on this however.

Mac gaming is getting better!

1) Paraalells, with which you can run windows in a window (or fullscreen if you insist) now supports OpenGL and DirectX (This is so Convient. When Windows Breaks, A Reboot is 1 click away, I use it like this).

2) Boot Camp: Its a Windows PC, it just happens to say apple on it. (Currently in Beta, but fully supported as of OSX 10.5).

3) IDs new technology with which their newer games will run on has been demonstrated on PC, Consoles and Mac (natively).

Ignorance isnt a crime. But its not a defence either.
