Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition for Mac OS X

So after releasing all of the other DA games on PC and Mac, they choose an engine that doesn't support Mac this time around?  That's so disappointing.

    Battlefield is on Frostbite, and Fifa 15 on a relative of it.  When Apple supports games better, themselves, perhaps things will be different.  Right now, neither Aplle nor Intel will do so, making developers choose consoles over laptops of almost any kind, for instance.

    They really have been pushing the console versions, anyway. Just look at the horrible mouse and keyboard controls (granted, BioWare said on Reddit that they'd fix this in a patch). I buy a Mac to stay away from Windows, personally, so I just ended up playing this on PS4 instead. I prefer playing in the living room, anyway.

    This also reminds me of the EA Origin Black Fridays sale. I would have picked up the first two games (I didn't give them a real shot, back in the day) if they had BOTH been on offer for Mac, rather than just the PC versions. Not only do we get fewer releases on Mac, but we also end up having to pay more for the games too.

    The best thing we can do as consumers who are dissatisfied with an organization that provides a service is just not to patron the service. Just don't buy them. If they are going to be condescending to mac users simply because we prefer and OS that isn't Windows, simply don't their their games. If the Mac community grows then they will have no choice but to find a work around. All we can do is not provide them with our money and hope that there is a paradigm shift.
