Kudos to VJ for finding the announcement that Macintosh legends MacSoft will publish Myth III for the Mac. Along with this annoucenement, MacSoft has other plans:

PLYMOUTH, MN, May 9, 2001 -- Infogrames, Inc., (Nasdaq: IFGM) a global publisher of interactive entertainment software, today announced that it has acquired the Macintosh publishing rights to several high-profile titles from Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTWO). MacSoft continues to dominate the Macintosh entertainment software category having achieved a market share of over 37 percent for calendar year 2000*.

As the market penetration of Mac gamers deepens, so does the need to provide this growing audience with a wide variety of products said Cindy Swanson, Marketing Manager of MacSoft. As the leading publisher of Macintosh game software, we are excited to be adding such an acclaimed array of products to our lineup.

Under terms of the agreement, Infogrames acquires the Macintosh publishing rights to Tropico^TM and Fly! II^TM, which will be shipping this summer, as well as such highly regarded titles as Max Payne^TM, Stronghold^TM and Myth III^TM. Infogrames also obtains the Macintosh rights to several additional titles that will be announced at a later date.

MacSoft is the unquestioned leader in the Mac gaming arena, said Kelly Sumner, Chief Executive Officer of Take Two Interactive. We are excited to have Take-Two's premier properties brought to the Mac audience and look forward to working closely with MacSoft to do so.

I find this to be excellent, comforting news. MacSoft has done awesome work with Unreal Tournament, keeping it updated and ensuring customer satisfaction.
