[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?

thats not fair

I wonder what you would say if you were using Linux

Macs aren't made for games guys, PC's are. Sorry. At least a mac version is coming soon. Most games don't bother putting out a mac version at all.

Yeah it says Nov 7th so that's cool. Not too long after. I can wait for that :)

Consoles are made for games mainly. PC's means Personal Computer and doesn't really say "Made for gaming". It's just a market share thing. Nothing in regard to technical capabilities.

Windoze is in decline the rise of Linux and Mac !!!!!!!!! Driect X is DEAD.

[Dellamorte]

wait for the next rounds of goverment procurements I can garantee you the percent of windows boxes will drop. the first of the real Steam OS boxes will start to ship .... Direct X has not been updated realy for years so a lot more developers are looking at linux as it driver Android, Steam OS and OSX.

Fair enough.. There are "moar" PC's than there are Mac's.. Just like there were more VHS than there was Betavision..

" How come the movie is not available for my superior Betavision? "

It's a common affliction among Mac owners.. and game after game that is released.. they complain or ask.. "when is it gona be out for Mac?"

You would think that over time a pattern would emerge and the inevitable enlightenment would set in..

There are more PC's than Mac's therefore the target market is "PC's".. Mac's will always be secondary to PC's in the gaming industry.. Accept it.. or get a PC and enjoy the game like the rest of the "majority target audience"

You couldn't be more wrong. Why are you even in this thread anyway if you don't have a mac?
Mac's are superior when it comes to day to day tasks. Every above "in my mom's basement" grade music studio, film studio etc uses them ... there are few that prefer Windows...Mac is just more stable etc.

Anyway...can we please not argue if mac is better or not in this thread? For me it is, for this guy it obviously isn't (maybe he can't afford one) or whatever...
This isn't a Mac vs PC.

I own a MBPr and have Win8 in bootcamp for games. I tried a few Mac versions of games (most notably SimCity) and it runs like crap under OSX compared to Windows on the same machine.

I do not dispute the merits of Mac over PC with regards to which is superior. Just the oposite. Like betavision over VHS, the beta was a better format.

The probelm is volume. Although arguably better or "more stable". There are far fewer Mac's than PC's. As such the gaming industry targets the majority owned platform for their sales.

And this is the point of contention with Mac owners. " when will it come out for Mac?" is the recurring question in every steam gaming thread. And the answer remains. There are more PC's than there are Mac's. Therefore, when it comes to game creation, the developers always release the PC version first and "maybe" release a Mac version later on.

And this is why Mac is secondary in the eye of game development and release. Not because Mac is inferior in performance or quality, But because Mac represents a smaller target audience than PC.s

So if every Mac owner knows this.. then why ask: "when will it come out for Mac?" over and over in every steam gaming thread?

The answer is always the same.. "later.. or not at all"

:)

To answer your latest question...BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF FARMING SIMULATOR WAS RELEASED FOR MAC! Isn't it kind of obvious? FS2013 runs perfectly on my Mac. It was released on Steam. FS2015 will be released for Mac. So why are you still trying to tell me that Macs aren't used for gaming?
I hope this post explains your issues with Macs.

Honestly, I'm really sick of people complaining whenever there's a Mac question. Does it somehow interfere with your life? If it does let me know I'll stop. If you don't have an answer to my question, if you're here just because you don't have anything better to do, please start another thread and complain there.

fs2015 comes out on 7th nov 2014

It's kind of easy to not click on the "Mac questions" as you're calling it. Just as easy as ignoring you actually so yeah I'm gonna do that.

Of course... None of the elitist mumbo jumbo actually SOLVED anything. Just a bunch of people trolling Mac users.

Giants still has teh software listed as releasing nov 7th on their site via direct puchase and download. Steam, once again, provides NO INFORMATION AT ALL about any future Mac versions, when/if THEY will support it...

Either they aren't supporting it, they willl support it but aren't supporting it immediately on the 7th, or they are launching it on the 7th...

But their silence is deafening! All they have to do is add the "Coming out for the Mac platform Nov 7th", or whatever, and NONE of these questions would even exist.

Happens all the time sadly.

Yeah I wish they would tell us something. But we'll see on the 7th I guess. If it won't be available on Steam I'll just order it directly.

Don't wanna :P

But seriously, It's a communication issue.

Why should I buy an over priced OS I simply don't want or need (I have my ancient XP PC for my 2D CAD and chip programming) to avoid a communication issue. Steam is just bad at communicating these things with it's Mac users. It's not Giant's fault, It's not Apple's fault. It's Steam. They release for PC, and forget that there are other people still waiting for announcments. They just STOP COMMUNICATING.

I'll get my Mac compatible game in about 4 days. Boo hoo, it came out a week later... Hopefully the wood chipper works out of the gate for us! I mean, you PC users HAVE given Giant's a week's worth of beta testing! It's all Intel coding anyway, all basically the same core code in a different wrapper! Maybe they'll have that patched by the time my Mac version is out! :P
