Forums - PC - EA is pushing Mac gaming

For those too lazy to read the article

"the Mac and PC versions are shipping together in the same box"

 

That's a genius way to do things. EA isn't meant to be doing cool things like this :P

so you can play games with a mac?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Blizzard have been doing this for a long time. Its nothing new.



you can play games on a mac? blasphemy!



This is being ported by Transgaming.

It's new for anybody who isn't Blizzard or pre-MS Bungie. :P

I would guess that EA is doing this because The Sims franchise has been really successful on the Mac.

I definitely hope this becomes more widespread in the industry, as the mac is a far more relevant platform then it was 10 years ago.



EA is basically going to try and mine an almost untapped resource. Pretty smart move.



That's nice. Still wouldn't buy a Mac but it's nice for owners of Macs.

(Edit: Rocketpig owns a Mac, right? Where is he?)



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
