Will BF2042 support Mac users
Will Mac be supported? I know that I am going to be probably be roasted for this, but I would dearly love to see this ported to a MAC as I use it for work and not a Windows Machine, It is pretty dece...
Forum Discussion
I'm just being super curious, why exactly don't most games like BFV and the like come to Mac? I know we have the origin launcher and the like but i am just super curious why it's not always supported? Or other games like C&C? If I am being off topic and rude I do apologise.
Hi @KnightRa1der,
It's unfortunate for the BF game loving MAC users, but reality is that the total market potential by making such FPS games as BF2042 simply do not sell enough licenses to make it a financial viable business for EA to spend the money on it to do so.
The EA Dev team also need very different and additional skillsets then to do the dev for MAC, while actually the consoles and the PCs are having many components/aspects in common, which makes it easier also for the EA tech team to do a decent job on it.
Apple insists on some very constrained dev aspects and using their dedicated dev platform as well, plus the licensing rules are also very deliberate...
Example is you see sophisticated art designer tools for the MACs which you dont find easily as good still these days for the PC world, but you also pay some serious money of literally thousands of $ for those great and astonishing apps.
As MAC aficionado you might also find it OK to pay like $20 per month for your MAC game license (which is common for many MAC programs) while you have noticed in this forum many players here have even complained finding the $60 one time only license payment outrageous expensive.
So bit sad of course that we don't get a BF2042 MAC version so also the MAC players could join us, but the risk is probably too high for EA daring to bet on it paying back...
