    I know this is a tiny detail, but the naming of standalone PC builds is currently "PC, Mac & Linux standalone". While the point comes across, it is three very strange names to put side by side.

    PC is, technically speaking, all three of them, all though Apple PR likes to tell you otherwise.
    Mac is an Apple brand for their PCs.
    Linux is a family of operating systems, based on the same kernel.

    The naming for this category of target platforms should really be something consistent, like "PC Standalone" or "Windows, OSX & Linux Standalone".
