| Mac games will never be cheaper than PC games and they will always be released later. Unless it's a Blizzard game. I <3 <3 <3 Blizzard for simultaneously developing Mac and Windows versions of all their games. The reason for the delay is porting. Game developers generally release the project to porting houses like Aspyr once the game hits gold. By then, it'll usually take a few months for the port to take shape. In the meanwhile, the game in its PC format has already hit the shops.
Porting costs money, and that is why the games will cost more. They also do not get discounted as much because the volume isn't there. So if you want this to change, support Mac developers/porters and buy more Mac games! |
