Nope, Intel Mac’s are on life support and user base in decline as users buy Apple silicon machines. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next Mac OS has no intel support. Doesn’t make sense to support a platform that has a very limited life span.
Got a tip for us?

I bought the Windows version for my Mac Pro, (Intel).
I know it's kind of like chicken and egg but Apple need to show better support before I support them after the number of times they have abandoned stuff that enables better game adoption over the years.
If they didn't kill Nvidia support, we might not be saying that. My 3080 is pretty special when operating and it's not even close to the top of the range.
However for those with portables this could be just what they want and is welcome.
Don’t worry, the 100 pound when wet girl, will teach him how to be a better person and better fighter. That is after she takes down hoards of men in hand to hand combat.
It will run with 8GB per the minimum requirements. And that's 8GB DDR not 8GB unified memory. Unified memory is almost twice as efficient...so 8GB performs more like 16GB.
...when the last time you saw physical disk for PC? Like I agree physical is better for preservation, but come on now. Steam is great and has track record of customer support. This is a ridiculous comment
Just don’t buy these games at full retail. Prices get slashed in half in a few months after release.
Someone with an 8GB mac will probably have to run lower quality textures than someone with a 8GB GPU on PC.
I will not spend time in Ubisoft’s games even if I would download them from torrent sites.
Of course, it’s a personal thing, but companies like EA and Ubisoft are highly responsible for the plague of the gaming industry: live services, repetitive boring games, insane pricing.
Again - this is my personal stand.
Not disagreeing with those who have a different view - I just refuse to support them anymore.

That’s probably exactly why it’s not coming to Steam. If a person has a Windows PC and a Mac, the game being available on Steam means they load it to their Mac for free. There’s probably not a LOT of those situations, but at least on Apple’s store, they know every sale is for a Mac which helps when making decisions on how to support the Mac in the future.
I would doubt it. It’s likely AppStore only so they can be almost guaranteed that the sale is for someone that wants to pay specifically for a Mac optimized version of the game. Plus, for anyone using Steam, they’ll still likely be able to download the Windows version and, after an appropriate number of arcane steps, get it running on the Mac.
Keeping it separate lets them see clearly how many Mac folks there are willing to support third party development. And, I don’t think it’s likely to appear on Steam as the publisher probably doesn’t want this title involved in any Steam sales.
the last game that I brought for the mac it was Alice McGee, great game and memories, I should play again on the mac.
what's a good specs for this new game?
I had plans to buy a studio and replace my mini (I do a lot great things with the base mini m2!)

The more people buy this, the more Apple will take it as a validation that it's OK to release these games only via the Mac App Store.
We accepted Steam a long time ago. It's pretty much ideal for distribution of games. It existed long before the Mac App Store. It existed before the App Store. We don't need more overhead.
And you...think the Mac App Store is an improvement on this?
I agree physical media is best in terms of ownership. And there's a reason it's being phased out.
All software is licensed, not sold, as has been made clear for decades.
I agree it's not perfect, but Steam is about as close to an ideal compromise as anyone has come up with. Just enough copy protection to satisfy the rights holders, light enough touch for users to accept it.
memory is part of SOC now, not even glued to motherboard.
to increase performance.
The majority of Intel Mac owners don't play games or own Macs with powerful enough GPUs to play this game according to Steam. AS Mac owners do.
The base Studio is probably fine. If they are using the same engine as Mirage I wouldn't expect it to be taxing graphically.
I agree with this because I remember paying IR£60 for Unreal Tournament Mac OS in 2000 so that would be well over €100 by now. It was expensive but worth every single penny 😀
This made me laugh out loud 🤣
How’s that crystal meth habit working out for you? 🤣🤣
Frostpunk 2 will also be released for Mac on July 25 on MAS, the same day as the PC release.
