Any chance an update will allow pc game play on mac?

Not talking about running windows on a mac to play pc games but something like the mac flip that allowed WMA to be played on a mac.

Closest you will ever get is something like Crossover

Zero chance
If it's not supported at release, no one would spend time/money to make it supportable.

Well if its a old game (which doesnt need a lot of juice) you could always use VMWare/Parallels to emulate Windows.

Or bootcamp to dual boot into Windows, which provides better gaming performance anyway.

The free WineBottler works well for lots of old Windows games. Heck, it even plays some that don't work anymore on real Windows.

Old games that aren't supported now will never be supported... However modern games like Half-Life 2 and pretty much all Valve's other games are supported on Mac now and they actually run really well on them. HL2 runs great on my 13" MBP. The only thing is it gets a bit hot, but thats expected.

Wine and Dosbox are pretty good for playing older games.
