I know this has bin asked before I'm not the only Mac 10.5 owner.
Most game developers use PCs but why?
The reason is that most Mac users are a 10.5.8 or there is a lack of programs. This limits them to Unity 3D OS X, Intowizard and upgrading.
Most of us that have tried Unity 3D know it is a great wonderful program till you get to the $1,500 price tag and Apple developer. Most of us that knew we want to Develop Apps forever would consider it, but when your 15 years old with parents shifty about spending five bucks on the internet when your bribing them with a thirty bill. You know that's not going to happen. This tends to be most young developers problems.
Introwizard what can you say about it is the worst, most boring app maker you could find on the web hardly worth a paragraph this long.
Most of us can a guess what could happen with updating to 10.6 its just like updating an app on your IPod. We all get it and its our biggest enemy, crashes or files loss. Most of us can get around files lost with Time machine and all that swanky stuff we have today but a crash. to crash an app this freezes your computer and damages your computer hard drive. And with Macs you where planing on keeping it for a long time because honestly how do you mess up a mac unless you search "Mac Viruses" on Google? You see what I'm putting down here.
In the end we all know its issues and bin thought about before. And its perfectly fine if you are not going to let 10.5 users into this but we at least an answer telling us if it will come or not.

why will a software drop support of 10.5 and after a year let them use it again?
also, GS might even drop 10.6 since 10.7 is almost here

Also since you'd have to go back at least 6 versions more than likely your projects would be broken when you brought them into a current version since GameSalad has changed a ton of how it works.
i'm on mac 10.5.8 (still... :-) and i used GS to make games for me and my friends so i was not really interested in publishing my games... Unfortunaly i didn't pay attention and i downloaded the last version of GS...
can you send me a link to an old version of GS so i can continue to enjoy?
thank you,
(sorry for my english wich is not very good)
