Software Suggestion (Source Film Maker)

[Tacospiff]

I suggest Source Film Maker to be on mac. Macs are built for movie making and home use. I suggest this software for macs because for mac users, it is perfect to use the software.

I agree with you. Join the SFM for Mac group if you haven't already!

WE NEED SFM FOR MAC!

[h1dden]

On a mac you must have very specific software specs. With apple, they started from scratch and programed their own software and it makes it difficult to run programs on mac because the sofware could be built for other system specs it may need to run. Plus the fact that the equipment specs on a mac, like graphics cards and RAM, normally do not reach the requrments for most games/software. For example, I have a windows 8.1 computer and I can not download SFM because windows 8.1 could have replaced a vital system requirement it needs to run, but I do have the correct ammount of RAM and a high enough graphics card so I could run it. I didn't think it made a major deal with Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 because I read that games that can run on windows 7, can run on windows 8.1. But animation sofware are very difficult and touchy programs, especally 3D animation sofware. So it makes it more difficult to make it compatable with mac if their software is completly different from Windows.

I am not a big fan of apple because of their completley diverse program compared to windows. The specs on the mac are also worse compared to windows. Although I completly agree with you that macs are very good work computers.

I hope this comment answered why it is not compatable with mac.

Yeah, no one asked Why Source Filmmaker is compatible.

Wait, let me double check...
Yup no one, 0.
Or your incorrect asumption about software development.
Or your poor grasp of hardware and software engineering.
Or your tragedy with Windows 8.1

This is a thread suggesting Valve to release a Mac port of a program based on the Source Engine which has already been ported to the Mac.
Go to /. or Reddit if you want to incite drama.

Yeah, I posted this a long time ago.

Sorry to hear you had to buy another computer. Well at least you can play Windows only titles like Magicka.

Yeah, I like Windows better now than Macs. I still claim though Macs are good for working.

I enjoy not having to pay yearly for malware protection that is not even 100% reliable and completely worthless once you're compromised.

I agree. SFM is sooo good but.. why did they make it only for PC? PCs get viruses and they crash ALL THE TIME! I hope The Steam Community reads this.

True, but Steam also crashed on my Mac. Its some bug though created from the developers, not macs.
