I have no idea what the Mac mmo demographic is like. Think it will bring in a significant amount of new subs? Just curious.

    I've been a mac user since '06 and have also been doing all my PC gaming via Bootcamp on my macs since then, so I pay a lot of attention to this. While I don't think it will bring that many subs since mac users who game are typically familiar with and probably using bootcamp, which works wonderfully as it runs Windows natively on your mac, but people will certainly be happy about it. I'm definitely looking forward to it. The mac market is HUGE now and while macs are pricey for the components, they are definitely more than powerful enough to run games well.

    Real life brings repetition and pointlessness too. The only thing real life offers is Great graphics. Its kinda expensive too and way to dependent on the cash shop. Totally pay to win as well. No thank you. Ill stick to my games.

    I doubt it will have a big effect on subs but it will probably make the Mac users happy they don't have to reboot to play.

    The only reason I truly kept my pc around was for this game. With the news that the expansion would also bring Mac support I finally caved in and bought a 15inch macbook pro retina, the i7 one with 16gb of ram and a geforce GT750 with 2gb onboard.

    With this game, SotA and LotRO installed I am good to go for the next 5 years of MMORPG gaming. Also, Crowfall, if it turns out to be awesome. It is a good time to be a Mac owner in all honesty, I was pleasantly surprised by the available software.

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'
