Stop Giving Mac indie Games

[FaZzy]

why do the mac users always get these unpopular indie games we need chilvary,arma, and many popular games.the indie games we get always are not good.

[EpicPhoenix]

so true they need to make most games for both mac and windows

It's Mac. Duuh. Itunes, video editing, Facebook games. Now on topic.

Got a Macbook myself (for work) So im not a complete windows fanboy in fact i don't really support any kind of operating systems... That sounded nerdy.

But i don't think it'll happen unless 40% of the Mac community is gonna game.

i can give you two reasons on why they might not consider it just yet.

Mac OS has a big fanbase. But i don't think many uses Apple's computers as a gaming machine or they didn't have gaming in their mind then they bought one. I bought my Macbook for work. So not a lot of profit is to be made from Apple's OS. I think the bigger developers don't give a cr*p about Mac because it won't bring them in just as much as consoles and the PC community does.

Besides i think the development cost for Mac is not worth their time vs the income they probably has predicted. If there was a lot of profit to be made on the Mac community, then you would see the next Cod title for mac os next year or some other big mainstream game.

Cod Black ops is actually out for Mac.

2. I think the programming is harder to do, maybe more time consuming. Besides Apples machines aren't known for being the best computers for gaming. Only thing they have going for them is it looks and it's operating system. But else nothing. I don't know if it's possible to change parts on the desktop version (Probably is) But the games in the future (Indie, Call of Duty, and Dota is an exception) Is gonna require much more power.

I could imagine alot of people raging at either Steam forums (If it's available on Steam) or rage at the developers for having bad optimization. I can predict the messages they would get

"My desktop i bought from apple store doesen't run this game smooth. Why?? It has cost me 3159 dollars and won't run this game on full graphiz!!! Omgz!!!

On the bright site you got Team Fotress 2 and some of the Counter-Strike games And half life 2 Great games.

Besides Directx as many games use today is not supported for the Mac OS as far as i know that would make developers spend more money and time on finding another way of programming for the mac. Which further outweight the profit made from the game on the mac.

Appreciate the games we get, it's not indie OR AAA games, it should be indie AND AAA games silly person!!!

You could try linux and love tux the penguin. It's free and linux and mac are based off of unix and are similar OS wise, even though not intellectually wise, and steam seems heading more in the linux direction with the steam box running it. Just a suggestion. I'd give Ubuntu or xubuntu a try with linux loaded on it.

[Jim Bond]

If you think linux support is greater than mac support you are a crazy person.

[Peltron5000]

Easy there bond. Just saying that later on when there are more games for linux, that it would be an option. I realize that linux is a lot of do it yourself, but in the end, it's worth it. Since Steam is trying to include it for steam games, they see the potential of it too.

[The Master Shake]

I actually enjoy some of the indie games, sure it's a little hipster, but some are actually good. However, I do agree, I want big A games for Mac as well.

Depends on what kind of hardware you upgrade it with or pre order it with.

Because a standard Mac desktop usually comes with garbage hardware. If you build it custom. Well then it can become a good rig.

Just overpriced as sh!t. Same story goes for Alienware. You pay for the brand.

Not true at all... My mac can run pretty much about any game no problem, as long as it's for mac...

Ouch. 3,799.00$ for the best computer they have. I can only imagine what kind of computer I could build if I had 3,799.00$. >_>
