Poor form from Aspyr games

[Gobarg]

Is anyone else becoming angry with the poor form of aspyr games in regard to their inability to match up versions in bordelands 2?

One of the key reasons I bought the game in the first instance was so that I could play with friends and family.

They advertised the cross platform playability of the game and right from the get go we have been led up the garden path.

First of all on release we couldn't match up with PC users which in itself is inexcusable. I men geez why release it in the first place if it isn't what you have said it will be.
'Now we learn that the patch that they are releaqsing next seek isn't going to match us up either.

Is this game EVER going to be as advertised?
I mean FFS why did I buy the frigging game in the first place if it isn't going to be what you actually said it was going to be.

I get the feeling that we will never actually cath up to the PC version and we will always be just that little bit behind.

So we are left with game that is FAR less than we were told it was going to be and a view of Aspyr that is FAR less than they would like us to have.

There is no way in hell I will recommend that people buy games from them in the future. I mean geez how hard is it to get the versions right, If you are going to advertise the cross platform playability of a game then FFS make sure that happens.

Very Very annoyed

I avoid Aspyr like the plague. Even when they do keep up, it's buggy garbage.

There really should be more information on the store page. It says that's it's a steamplay game which means the windows and mac versions would be the same, you could play between them, and it syncs saves between them.

V1.2.2 should be releasing for the Mac very soon, though obviously Macs and PCs will still be out of sync. It will be 2013 before versions sync up, unfortunately. However, I know Aspyr is working closely with Gearbox and 2K to try to minimize the downtime.

You've got to understand, it's not as simple as how you make it out to be. Ideally you'd think a company like Gearbox would get Aspyr the patch ahead of time so that they could release it at the same time. But this sort of quick relay between original dev and Mac dev rarely (if ever) happens. Usually a patch is released for PC, THEN it is handed to the Mac devs, then they have to get it working and test it, THEN it has to go back to the original dev for "approval," which can take a week or two because, and this is just my opinion, it seems like Mac gamers are lower priority to them. So if you want to blame somebody for the sync issues, Gearbox is who you should point your finger at first and foremost.

Aspyr's a good company and they bust their butts trying to get great games on the Mac, so it's a bummer to see everybody take all this Steamplay frustration out on them, when in fact very little of the timing on these patch releases is even in their control.

1.2.2. should be available for download now, along with the Mr. Torgue DLC.
