It should be noted that my comment might've been unfair as I haven't tried any of their newer ports though (but all the same I think you came to the right choice, if for no other reason the possibility of using beta patches, they tend to be critical to paradox titles and you don't get them if you use VPLTDs ports).

It works very, very well :)
And as no mac user gets access to the forums here at paradox (due to VPLTD and Paradox not working out a way to distribute keys for this forum) I'd actually say it's better to get the PC version.

False. I've never had any issues with keys at all. Every one of the games I have registered, I got through VPLTD.

I still wish they'd be faster though. I'm very tempted to make the leap to running everything parallel.

Hmm, at least it used to be true. I only have the Victoria:Revolutions icon as I bought it again for windows. VPLTD told me they couldn't help me with a key for the mac version for this forum. I also recall quite a few threads about mac users not getting keys here on this forum.

Good thing they solved it anyway as it was a big problem really :)

Well, keys for Revolutions don't do anything other than give an icon and unlock the OT forum so VP may not have been given any. For newer games the key unlocks the support forums and also is used to access the multiplayer metaserver so it's considered much more important. While there certainly have been difficulties and communication problems with VP (as well as non-GamersGate distributors of the Windows version) usually you can get the key by contacting VP or the distributor directly.

It would be nice if someone who has EU3 complete would comment about how it performs. I wouldnt want to buy the mac version if it is inferior to the pc version. Also GG has EU3 complete mac and HttT as 50% of for mac week, but HttT isnt out for mac right? Whats going on? A mistake?

I have EU3 complete running on 2008 iMac24. It performs well on OSX10.5.8 without any problem. The only thing concerns me is VP release MAC patch too slowly. That's the reason why I didn't buy HOI3 MAC version. VP still use 1.2 on MAC version HOI3.

I also have had no problems running the Mac version. The key problems that have been discussed are with buying EU3 complete. The key that you get is for In Nomine, not for the complete game. (notice my icon) To my knowledge there has never been a resolution to this issue, but it's not a deal killer.
