Mac OS

[kellyl]

Any chance this will also be released for Mac?

[Cоsмоиaцт ⭑]

+1 for mac. During their first stream, they said it wasn't planned, but they'd consider it if the demand was high enough. I just hope that it is.

[kellyl]

Me too, been waiting for a decent BSG game and this seems like it hits the nail on the head. I would buy it.

[Slitherine_Iain]

Sorry we have no plans for a Mac version at this time.

[Ludeman]

Silly rabbit Mac's are not for gaming

[kellyl]

Then unfortunately I will not be purchasing this. Good luck with it.

[Ludeman]

Well I have a Mac notebook for work and a PC desktop at home for work/entertainment.

If you look on Ebay you can find a rig from somebody that spent 2000K in 2012 then pick it up for very low cost and have the best of both worlds.

[kellyl]

Meh, it may happen at some point, but not going to make a point to do it, just for this game. I'll just get it cheaper whenever I get around to that, if they don't wish to support both platforms.

This is very sad to hear when you can just rap/wine the game like many developers have done for other games. Developers stop being lazy this is not 2005... Get with the times there is a wide base of mac users that use Steam on the MAC OS in 2017. THIS A FAIL!

Would love to see a Mac version! :) There are so many Mac users now on Steam!

[HuskerKitty]

That’s dumb AF. Get with the times, and port it to MacOS. I also have a Windows PC that I can stream from, but I’d much rather run it natively on my new MacBook Pro when I want to. I have tons of games in my Steam account and this is one of the few which isn’t available for MacOS. Come on Slitherine, this isn’t 2002.

It’s pathetic. It’s easier to port games across operating systems than it’s ever been. I have both sorts of devices and the vast majority of games I’ve bought on Steam are now available for both. It’s beyond ridiculous that a $50 game with a pop culture franchise released in late 2017 can’t also be run on MacOS. How far does this company have to have its head up its collective rectums?

[kellyl]

I agree. I noticed it was on sale, and therefore the sales themselves have plateaued, they wouldn't have discounted it if they were still on an upward arch. Could have bought it, but I didn't because it would have been pointless.

[chelidon]

Well, it's not just one-time porting, it's ongoing support (and the technical staff overhead), version control, buxfixes and feature sync for two codebases, etc. It is totally doable, but not trivial, and I'm sure someone's done a cost/benefit analysis, or at least I'd expect it.

But hey, I'd love a Mac-native version -- I'm running this on a 2010 Mac Pro with 12-core 3.46 Ghz CPUs, Nvidia 1070, etc, a perfectly servicible modern game platform for almost any use, despite being 8 years old...gotta love the longevity and build quality of Macs.

Macs are the same quality under the hood as pc's you have nothing special about your macs other than they cost 2.5x more than a comparable pc all for the privilage of a unix based os and legacy software vendors thats are mac only by pledge. There is nothing spectacular about Apple Computers, you guys are not even risc based architecture anymore.
Do you realize how many of you idiots, Yes calling 70% of your userbase idiots that still have the moronic misconception that you don't need antimalware and antivirus software nearly a flipping decade after the architecture change?!

You are just plain ole x86 hard like us pc users. Also what kind of moron buys anything that doesnt have a industry standard ethernet port? Then to add injury to insult the adapter at the apple store is 40 bucks while the far better made generic equivalent cost 5-10 bucks. Do you macheads have any idea how hard it is to diagnose basic route issues with a mac because of that? I have to listen to some i-diot in california tell me its my fault they have crappy internet even though if they could wire in so the 30+ wireless radiuses that are jamming their 1gigabit signal down to 5mbps wouldnt be a problem because you know cable is sheilded..

If you are in Film Production or General editing you are right to use a mac, even some musical application you are still probly ok to use a mac. Playing games on a mac is about as stupid as gaming on wireless by preference. There are persons exempt from that judgement but they also built thier macs via the hackintosh method which means they can dual boot operating systems and thus are not impeded by retail locking

in otherwords

TL;DR

Its not worth the devs time to make the game for mac for the sake of maybe 30-90 people of which 20-35 may actually buy the game over a 3 year period.

Time put in would not equate to income put out
