I would like to say a big hello to all the mac users on this thread and to SimCity users in general. I have been playing this great franchise since SC2K and SimTower. I would like to say that the same thing that brought you here brought me here. My love of SimCity.
Four and a half years and I finally decide to speak.
Ok, lets get on with it.
Selfish, closed-minded, full of myself, something about a black and white television...hmm.
Lets see here, SimCity since 1989 has always had a mac version. SimCity, SimAnt, SimTower, SimCity2000, SimCity3000, SimCity4, etc.
Take a look at those dates again 1989 to present, for most of this time Apple's world-wide market share plummeted to new lows, especially in the mid to late '90's, and yet these games were all ported to the mac. Why?
Now in 2008 soon to be 2009 with Apple commanding nearly 25% of the US laptop computer market and 8% market share amongst consumers. Of even more importance than that however is the fact that for the first time in a generation Microsoft Windows world-wide market share will dip below 90% within the next year or two.
Now can anyone honestly and with a straight face tell me that the mac market is two small to make a mac port profitable? A game that will undoubtably be very profitable for Monte Cristo? After nearly twenty years of SimCity on a mac?
Honestly, I think not!
BTW, I don't hate windows. I do use MS '08. Out of choice.
