	In Response To: 45 Sacks to go, The End Is Neigh (•M) : Bungie Webmaster update: : Hello, : I had a question about the Marathon series. I noticed that the old store will : be closing on the 31st, and that 'most of the products available would not : be produced anymore'. Assuming that one of these goners is the "Mac : Action Sack" which encompasses the Marathon trilogy, has Bungie : considered releasing / re-licensing the games/datafiles as free, much like : they released the Marathon 2 source code? I kinda had my mind on the Aleph : One project and how it will be hard to get new gamers to play Marathon : (Durandal and Infinity) when they won't be able to purchase the games : (unless they're lucky enough to find it used...) : If the answer to my question is... well... not quite what I was hoping for : =P, I would really appreciate it if you would contact me if the situation : changes. : Thanks so much for your time =P : -- Collin Jones : Collin, : The sad fact of the matter is that the Mac Action Sack is reaching its final : desperate days. We're down to a few dozen, and when they're gone, they're : gone. It may be that one day we'll put two Xbox games in a burlap sack : (emptied of kittens, of course) and call it the Halo Swag Bag, but the : grim reality is upon us. The Mac Action Sack is almost gone. The other : thing to consider, is that the Mac Action Sack consists entirely of games : for a computer OS that no longer exists (yes, I KNOW it still exists : literally you bunch of Sunday Afternoon Sartres) and is therefore, to most : people, about as much use as a chocolate teapot. : As for releasing the game files for free, only time and lawyers will tell. : But when the store is up and running properly, those Action Sacks will be : the very last. : At that time there were 45 MacAction Sacks in store... I just got mine in the mail today XD! im so excited, and i dont even have a mac...which is part of the reasone that im posting. I know i can extract the infinity files by using a certain program...Hdexp131 is what im using...but for some reason, i cant use the "finder view" like it tells u in the aelph one install readme. it may have to do with my operating system, which is XP, or maybe that im "low on virtual memory" (my hardrive only has 1 gig left). i REALLY want to play infinity, as well as the MAC version of Durandal, and i dont have the time (or effort) to get and setup a MAC emulator. any help or suggestions would be great!:D thanx.
