Why Macs don't have games

I was surfing the net and came upon an article on Lifehacker discussing Microsoft's new marketing strategy. Their pitch is that you can purchase a Windows systems and save hundreds of dollars over a Mac. As I finished the article I proceeded to the comments to see what the people had to say about this feud. Then I found this:

Why don't Mac have games? Their demographic's college students or young adults right?

@Anonymous816435:
Who needs games when you can make free homemade music and cool movies? That way you can sell those movies to pay your rent. Then go to the gas station and say, "I'll trade you this song I made on my mac, if you let me fill up my Prius. Dont worry, it doesnt take much gas, unlike your Chevy over there. ugh. Here, hold my Venti mochachino double espresso half soy/half skim milk."
Seriously, you dont need games on a mac when youre busy being creative and out doing exciting things in your hybrid car, like going to Starbucks, or driving out to the countryside to worship the holy fruit.

@Lazarus: Best comment ever.

@Lazarus: I was going to answer his question seriously, like porting cost/audience being too low, but you've stolen my power of speech with that. Bravo :P
