Your entire claim was that the hardware was subpar because of the price point. If I pay $200 for an I7 or I pay $300 for an I7, that has no bearing on the performance of the chips. It changes the ratio performance to cost, but as I purchased a Mac that's not a metric I am concerned with.

Ad populum means that because a mass believes it, it must be true. It has absolutely nothing to do with what I said, which is that MAC has problems attracting game companies and keeping their support, which is pretty much an undeniable fact. My argument is that because of this issues, anyone who has gaming in mind will play on the platform with games. This is the same thing with consoles, they only go as far as the developers make/port games to their system.

Again, with the FB/Google+ analogy, anyone who wants to go to Google+ pretty much does it out of spite to FB, love for google, desire to try something new, or they genuinely believe it to be better. But almost no one will go for it because "all their friends are there!". Likewise, no gamer will buy a Mac because "All the games are there!".
It is? The game selection on OSX may not be as expansive as Windows (currently), that much I'll agree to. I won't agree with the claim that OSX has a hard time attracting game companies, especially as it is the only desktop/laptop market with any significant growth. Blizzard released clients for OSX for all of their products, Rocksteady is releasing Arkham Knight on OSX. Searching the Steam store for games reveals over 4000 entries. There is significant interest to warrant the investment. People may not buy a Mac for gaming, but the claim that Macs are not good for gaming is simply not true any more.


It's funny because your own argument is the one invalid here. SE hasn't dropped or stopped MAC support, and I don't see why you are complaining about this case in particular. The OP wanted to double dip Windows/Mac clients, and anyone who has actually bought this game should remember there being a warning sign that it will only work for the platform you buy.

Heck, that he first chose windows over his mac out of convenience speaks volumes of the issue.
My complaint is that I fully expect SE to release functioning client for OSX. Given that the game industry has become "release crap and then patch", I should have known better.
