Why no Mac support ??

[aaatoysandmore]

Yeah, I was gonna say also that wargaming is a niche genre; not like some of the AAA titles on Steam. Pip has the figures I'm sure from their database and 10% sounds about right. Just not enough MAC wargamers out there. [:'(]

Long Live the PC versions of wargames [:D]

Developing for mac is one thing. Supporting Mac is another. We work very differently as we release many patches for many years after release. Most main stream devs release a couple of patches and they move on to the next game. The load this puts on us is huge as each patch requires implementation and testing on each platform. As a result over time the cost of supporting Mac balloons.

Sadly its just not economically viable. We've tried internally, outsourcing, and every way ends up being too much of a drain on resources. We've pretty much given up on Mac

Dominions 5 was released this week on Steam.

Just saying...

This doesn't mean it was a good idea

All my friends who have a Mac are workaholics who are wondering how to spend time playing wargames.
I answer them invariably;
"You are badly organized!"

Thank you, Iain, to take the time to post.

Fair enough, you couldn't be clearer. I rest my case...

Best regards
