EA selling games in the Apple Store

I hope EA continues to support OS X so that I can play Spore without the need to reboot. I would love to see how the Mac figures turn out if they manage to launch both platforms around the same time.

way to make yourself sound like a total chode.

"I really think that releasing these games will only tell EA what they already knew: Mac owners don't buy their games. Be serious: how many of you readers are really going to hit the link above and buy Battlefield 2142 right now? I didn't think so."

Could you be a little less jerky about it? Despite what *you* think, there are plenty of Mac users who want to play games. I myself keep a windows workstation around just to play games on and these games EA has released will be that number less on the windows machine. And I have several friends who all have gotten turned on to Macs and are gamers. I seriously hate it when people group everyone together, your just as bad as the "macs are only good for graphics" people or the "macs are only good for the elderly" crowd.

Actually, I held off buying Battlefield 2048 for my Windows box just to get the Mac version, so yes I'm going to buy it. ;p

I'll grab 2142 as soon as its available here in Australia - I already own it on PC buts I play it often enough for it to be worth my time to get it on mac rather than restarting for boot camp.

EA kept their promise on the brick-and-mortar Apple stores thing.

I was JUST at an Apple store TODAY (To buy one o' them new snazzy keyboards^^) They had NFS: Carbon, Command and Conquer and Harry Potter.

I would have BOUGHT one, but I really had my heart set on BF2142.

Anyway, they kept their promise.

Location: Annapolis Mall, Annapolis, Maryland.

no 950 support? no sale.

I'll buy Madden the second it comes out.

Although this is great for Mac users, sadly, owners of the Mac Mini and MacBooks aren't going to be able to use this. None of the games support the Intel 950 GMA Chip, which is standard in the notebooks. Oh well

I hope that people buy these games, I really do because the mac needs to address the gaming question. What I mean by that is that the Mac platform can't have the weaknesses it has had in the past to really explode. People are going to want to take the best things from their Windows experience and bring them over to the Mac, and if EA can get this right and these games are high-quality then we might be seeing the beginning of more than just Blizzard games. I love the Mac but it is sometimes so difficult because I love to game and I feel like game developers have left me in the cold. Maybe if there is an option that protects their IP and opens a new market they will be much more responsive to the idea.
