Mac version?

[Kozlic]

Just wondering...I see that the pre-order is available ony for the windows version.
Will there be a Mac version as it is of FS13?

[Kozlic]

According to this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmIzEPQoMJY&feature=youtu.be&t=4m20s ) it will be available.

[Kozlic]

So you're a hater huh?
I asked because in that video it clearly states that a mac version will be available and FS2013 is available for mac. That's why I asked.

There will be a version for Mac ones the game is out. Look on the offcial Tralier, says Windows, Mac on the lower part of the end.

Thank you. I was just trying to make sure I understood correctly. You know...don't want to have false hopes :)
Thanks!

Why do Mac users keep asking this question with every game, when the specs are clearly indicated?

This is because we often want to express our interest in seeing games we'd buy brought to our platform also. Obviously, we know what the clearly indicated platform is. The point is to make our voice heard so developers and publishers are aware the Mac audience would buy the title as well if it were available.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion for you.

Back to the topic at hand...

I came here to check on the possibility of a Mac release myself. I'm glad to hear it is coming. Now I will go and wish list the game for future reference. :D

Guess I better not ask for a Linux version then ... because as clearly indicated by the specs there won't be one?!

What i not understand: at amazon you can preorder the game for mac. At amazon there's no different date. Sorry for my bad english;)

I'm also trying to figure this out. Currently they game is on sale for 10% off and would like to purchase it at the discount.

If I buy it now and it later becomes available for MAC will I be able to download without paying extra?

Hotwire83, when I had a macbook any games which I bought for my PCs I could install the mac version of the game for no extra costs. With steam, you're supposed to be able to run just one copy of a game at once (offline mode gets around this), so I'm guessing you're using just once license at a time, so it's good to go. You can buy now and hope they release a Mac version. As well you could always install bootcamp and windows on the mac too. Macs are just PCs nowadays anyways with their own proprietary connections and OS.

I'm in the same situation as Hotwire83. Would like to buy it with 10% off, but how can one be sure if the Mac version will be added to Steam or not?

It's not a question of whether there will be a Mac version or not. A Mac version has been announced and will most likely be released on the same date as the Windows version (for sure it will appear in the Apple App Store on that day). I just don't see the point why Steam doesn't offer both versions right away, so that Mac players can also preorder.

The same situation occurs with other games, too: e.g., F1 2014 is currently listed as Windows only on Steam. But there will be a Mac version, exactly like for F1 2013. But will it be on Steam? If I knew, I'd already have preordered F1 2014.

Because Steam does this FAR TOO OFTEN to us Mac users. Giants has announced that a Mac version will be available. I could buy this from Giant's website, or from the Mac App Store, but I could also buy this from Steam...

Except Steam wants me to gamble. Hope they follow through with a Mac version, cause right now, they don't list a Mac version. That's part of the problem. Not JUST whether games will come out for the Mac or not, but games that have been CLEARLY announced by the developer to have a Mac version, NOT showing up as Mac compatible on Steam until some later date.

That's one problem I want to see come to an end

You are aware that that is the responsibilty of the developer right? Uploading the OSX version of the game to Steam and setting the flag that is available for the OS.

There can be reasons why the OSX Version of a game is available but not on Steam. If it was ported by a different company for example.
Or if doesn't have steam achievements integrated and the Windows version does. They probably wouldn't upload that either because they would get a bit of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for that.

Hey, if you look on the Farming SImulator 2015 website it will tell you all of the platforms. And yes, it will be on mac. I was very mad when I looked on steam the other day and saw Windows only, but the site says mac. I would say dont preorder on steam until it is comfirmed that it will be on mac for steam. If you do want to preorder it for mac I would say go to the farming simulator site and preorder it from there.

[richfiles]

Yeah... If Steam doesn't have a Mac version listed on launch day, I'm just gonna cancel that preorder alltgerther, and grab it from Giant's website directly. A couple bucks off the price ain't worth waiting for a late Mac launch.

[Kozlic]

Agreed. I'd love to play it as soon as it comes out but I'm not risking it.

[Dreusyla Arashi]

if 10% means that much just use bootcamp
