Gates of Troy for Mac

Hi.
My question is: Why was the Mac version of GoT (ported by VPLTD) revoked by Slitherine? I own a Mac, and although I enjoy playing Spartan quite a lot I would also like to play the "sequel". Apparently there used to exist a Mac version, but there's no way to get a hold of a copy now.

The oroginal deal with VP has expired and we could not come to terms on an ongoing basis so unfortunately it's been dropped from their catalogue.

That's too bad. I can't even find a used copy on eBay =(

I figured as much. Listen, I know you guys must have a keen business mind in order to succeed. However, I encourage you guys to revisit this. The Mac versions of Spartan and GoT will continue to sell modestly but steadily. Plus, I need the graphics bug repaired.

If we got paid for the modest sales we'd be happy

Meaning nothing, or not enough? I know you guys don't want to discuss this here, so no hurt feelings if you don't respond to that. However, we [Mac users] would love to see it available.

We'd certainly be supporting it if we could. Sorry

Couldn't you just run the PC version using an emulator?

It's not like the game is at all demanding, resource-wise...
