Recently Electronic Arts has let the world knows its frustrations making games for 5 different platforms, so they are asking for a single unified games platform where they can develop one game and run it in different machines but on the same platform and the name for it is linux. Linux could runs without any problem in almost every working computer on earth, so they have the platform.

Apple could help EA develop a game Dashboard where you can load a subsystem (based on linux) and play whenever you want, this dashboard will have all the drivers, settings, tweaks for performance and opengl as the main power. The dashboard will only load when you insert a CD, DVD or click it for any X game and will unload when you quit the game, freeing memory and resources.

This is the Apple time and should takes advantages of it, Apple should creates a gaming platform, not a console and a good start is to helps EA develop the unified games platform, where Apple will take full advantages, because Apple is the last place where games publishers look develop any decent game.
