Furthermore, we've been trying to play the game on a 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina (top of the line, if i recall correctly). There are reports of people that have been successfuly (45+ FPS) playing the game on a 2011 MBP (no settings specified). It is expected that the newer configuration would have a superior performance.

From all of this, the most simple conclusion that can be taken is that this poor performance is not related to a "Windows vs Mac" problem, the minimum requirements, and much less to an optimization of the settings. It is probably a bug?

I'm glad that SE acknowledges that there is a problem, but it is infuriating to see comments that tend to push the blame to the user (such as "not fulfilling the minimum requirements") when we can CLEARLY see that it's not the case. I guess the above post is more directed at the claims of "bad emulator" and such, but the ACTUAL problem should be discussed more openly, as has been Yoshida's policy since he came around.
