"Owners of Apple computers are reporting big problems with the Mac version of SimCity. Many who bought the game, released on 29 August, said it did not work correctly on either old or new Macs."

"Currently, the support pages for SimCity are dominated by messages from Mac owners reporting a wide variety of glitches."

I hoped that the Mac version would work because (1) they made a native version for the operating system, (2) they delayed releasing the game to get it right - ahahahahahahahaha, my aching sides, and (3) I thought that by now the SimCity servers would have been stabilised or would at least be less busy after the big rush of PC players buying their version.

What foolish optimism on my part.

EA's attitude to Macs stinks. Their attitude is they are a tiny market not worth bothering about. Yet in the last 5 years the number of Apple Mac owners has doubled to 72 million worldwide, mostly because it has finally broken off the reputation of being only for grown ups doing grown up things (educational or business). That's a lot of game players needing catered for.

Why does Apple not start up their own games division creating great games exclusive to Mac as an incentiviser for people to switch?
