I have been massively happy as a Mac gamer. I missed out on a lot but I enjoyed the games I had. And there's something to be said for the kind of competition the console wars bring us. Imagine Sony had the Xbox and 360 not come along. Imagine Microsoft had Sony not finally gotten their head out of their ass and hustled. Imagine Apple had they "won" the PC wars as well as Microsoft did...

The point about enjoying media is always well-made, though, and it's sort of the eternal tension for digital media, which is very transient and highly dependent on platforms... I'm fortunate there exist hacks to still play my old Mac OS 9 games on a OS 10.9 computer, but aside from owning the original hardware and spotty emulation a lot of our favorite games might slip through the cracks.
