Hmmm AppStore only. I wonder if this was part funded by Apple?
That’s nothing.Speaking about games… Some more emulators were approved at Apple’s App Store.
Regarding this new Assassins Creed, if they have focused on stealth it could be quite fun.
Interesting how developers are getting more interested in the Mac platform since the rise of Apple Silicon, especially with the bump of the M3 GPU!
Steam is great. You buy a game you get it for all Platforms….Why?? Steam sucks. You dont actually own any of the video games you buy off steam.
you are renting them. Your digital rights to play any game bought on steam can be taken away at any time.
much like your entire music collection off iTunes. allowed to run thru the use of digital certificates
getting a physical disk for a video game for your PS5, PC, Xbox is always best.
it’s not apples fault it’s not going to be on steam but i’m not spending that kind of money on a cross platform game to have it stuck on the appstore which, frankly, is an embarrassing storefront for games
steam is amazing and is probably the primary way most games are played on mac (edit that and maybe battle net altho they’ve also abandoned supporting apple hardware)
Exactly – they have no love for the Mac.Steam is just another App Store, nothing more. I personally find it clunky on the Mac and I don’t like the idea that I can only play a game I have purchased by going via this client and having an internet connection.
Oh and it’s 2024, so how about an Apple Silicon native version of this ‘amazing’ app.
So I would have to make a steam accountSteam is a game store on Mac OS. In my opinion, steam would be the best place to purchase a game so it can be played on Mac… you are calling it a crab mentality but failed to understand the previous commenters statement.
Yeah, I’m really excited about the M4 gen honestly.That’s nothing.
M4 on Mac will take gaming to next level.
Hooray, the one Mac game for 2024!

you don’t own app store games either so im not sure why that matters here.Why?? Steam sucks. You dont actually own any of the video games you buy off steam.

I agree it seems like a lot of money, but games have always been expensive. And even with inflation they’ve come down a little in price. I think games were about 50-60 USD throughout the 2000s which is nearly $100 in 2024 USD. So I suppose we’re saving 30 USD.the new normal $70 for a video game. and it goes up from there.
gotta love inflation.

If it’s not I would be really surprised. The Mac still isn’t a good platform for gaming now and even if you’re releasing on macOS, the Mac App Store doesn’t really make sense.Hmmm AppStore only. I wonder if this was part funded by Apple?

Good luck to those with Macs with 8GB memory 🤣
too bad it’s not on steam
Important info here >>> the more people that buy this, the greater chance more AAA titles start being ported over to Mac. I hope a lot of people buy this. If few people buy this, it just validates other developers reluctance to spend the time and money to port games over to Mac.
This crab mentality that everything should be on steam is hurting Mac gaming… how about celebrate and demand developers release more games on Mac OS first..

Yeah, 8GB ram isn’t going to cut it……But that's more than enough for 99% of mac users, and also 99% of people only need 256 GB storage.
If Intel Macs were decent computers for gaming (the overwhelming majority is junk for that particular use) they would be supported.Stupid to not support Intel Mac's, the majority of the customer base still and will be when Apple goes back to x86 in a few years after the Taiwan fiasco
I was paying that for Amiga games back in the 80s. Everything old is new again.the new normal $70 for a video game. and it goes up from there.
gotta love inflation.
