Still no MacOS Support!

[MusicHaven]

I've been pushing so much for MacOS Support for the Remaster! Please push it for it! Or I'll keep posting until you do!!!

[KuriKona]

Okay.

[Mad Scientist]

Or maybe get a PC if you wish to play PC Games?
You know it takes a lot of effort to add support to a restricted proprietary operating system right?

How to game on a MAC - Install Windows on it.

Well, but to be more constructive.. If you don't got Bootcamp or Parallels you can easily setup a small Windows Virtual Machine with Oracle VirtualBox.
CNC Remastered doesn't need that much power. It runs absolutely fine on a Intel integrated HD 620 on my ultrabook.

But come the freaking on, is it really THAT difficult to port a basic game for MacOS?

Do it yourself if you think its that easy? If not... just use a VirtualMachine or like the rest of the people put a partition of Windows to play it on?

Guys don't tell me to partition my SSD, it's only 120GB and it's full of office and music production stuff.

So, something Mac has never really had much of even from Triple A studios? You're expecting a $20 remaster of the original games in a series that EA was willing to let die have native Mac support?

Honestly you're dreaming and nothing ever stated there was MacOS support since it was announced.

Look up and use WINE if you want to play games on Mac.

I'm not a programmer, but... yeah. Yeah I'd imagine it is, particularly when you're already working with source code that's 25 years old.

Also, you dug your own grave here by buying Apple products.

MacOS also has a number of core differences from Windows that (at least used to) make it a major pain in the ass to get everything to work exactly the same between the two.

Not a choice that I have, especially if I needed to do music projects for school. And frankly, I think MacOS users ought to have the right to run their programs and games natively when we ask for it.

Let me put it in a way you'll understand.

I'll use video cards as an example

Most hardware: Runs on Windows, Linux and other identical operating systems without issues.
The same hardware: Typically requires a reprogrammed BIOS which raises the cost of the product by at LEAST $100-$200 or more depending on how little units the manufacturer believes will be purchased as it'll require more than likely a whole software team dedicated to making it with no guarantees of stability due to it being as mentioned before; a restricted proprietary operating system.

Again, you want to play PC Games, play on a PC.
PCs can do production too, and far better in almost all cases. Try using premiere pro on a mac vs windows; windows usually destroys it, and other programs are better than premiere pro.

I caught a whiff of the apple entitlement right there, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The majority of computers for home/business use are Windows, Mac is a secondary and there is plenty of proprietary software and Mac versions of popular programs. This has not been something that is new, its a multi-decade old fact that somehow is ignored by people that buy/own Apple products.

You're asking a dev team to spend extra money to create a version of this game for an OS that literally nobody buys for gaming as a first choice. On top of that you're asking it from the publisher EA which hasn't released a REAL C&C game since RA3 and has passed off/pushed multiple garbage titles with its name/skin to attempt to make money while also killing off any actual titles in the series they've even started.

There are a number of other titles that have gotten Mac compatible versions and that is rare enough as it is. Also, you chose to buy a Mac for your school projects, there was nothing forcing you to do so. Windows has similar tools for anything you want to do on a Mac.

But for now, your options are a windows partition or running WINE. That's the reality of your situation at the moment until the EA magically OKs it or a modder figures out a way to make it compatible.
