MacSoft seemed to be left to languish, under Infogrames. Destineer will revitalise them, I hope, and make them a force in Mac gaming.

It can only be good for Mac gamers.

Destineer is actually a publisher/dev studio.  Their Mac ports are handled by a third party.  Westlake Interactive and Green Dragon have done work for them.  Someone else ports the games, and Destineer publishes the games, formerly under Bold, now as MacSoft.

Maybe this is why there's been no word about Unreal 2. Infogrames has been Epic's parent company for the last few years.

Technically, at this point U2 is still a "future Infogrames game"- it comes out the 4th.

(As a side issue, early reports have U2 running about 2/3s as fast as UT2003, in the outdoors- which is most of the time).
