Planetside 2: stream joining with apple rumour

Magpie · 2012-04-17, 09:32 AM

As a planetside fan, a mac user and a steam user this is pretty good news for me.

Planetside 2 is maybe going on steam Apple and steam might be joining teams to bring PC games to the Mac.

News for mac users not a troll
Many thanks,

Nobody point it out! Don't do it. If we can go the whole thread without mentioning it, we win.

Well, that's a good idea. But I don't know if MAC players represent a lot of people.

Okay, I edited this. He'll never notice it.

LOL

I don't have any apple products, but I use stream extensively. I'm a big fan of pretty much all of Valves games.

Obviously PS2 being on stream will be great no matter what, but I think it will be awesome if it can be played on apple as well.

Play along, maybe it will make it harder to notice.

Increasing the number of potential people who can give a F2P game a try can do nothing but help Planetside 2.

It was fun while it lasted.

damnit!

I obviously missed something spectacular in this thread.

bah to showing up late for the party!

Fenrod · 2012-04-17, 09:57 AM

Didn't last long enough. Jeez.

Planetside 2 for MAC users would be good indeed, but Planetside 2 being on steam would suck a fucking lot. I have like 10+ games on it, and Steam is such a mess.

Yeah, totally. PlanetSide 2 being on the biggest PC game distribution service would be REALLY BAD. We certainly don't want those millions of people seeing the words FREE TO PLAY on a brand new title for them to download and play at absolutely no cost!

Steam is one of the greatest things to happen to PC games. I don't understand how you could possibly hate having an enormous amount of amazing games available for such ridiculously low prices all permanently stored on your account...

Sorry mag, but your a fool.

Vavle games has been running on macs for quite a while.

And this rumor has zero to do with Planetside 2.

I suggest you stop posting random stuff.

/move.

Fair do

Mastachief · 2012-04-17, 01:54 PM

Now correct me if i'm wrong but back when i had time to pay attention to game development, a game had to be programmed to function on a mac.

Planetside 2 is not being released on mac and thus will not work regardless of it being on steam or not.

Of course i could be wrong as it's been many a year since i last paid any real attention.

Current forms akin to the onlive system do not function properly for multiplayer fps games, it would probably be comparable to playing on a console against pcgamers.

*also to note posts like the above make me continue to ponder why someone and vocal and opinionated as basti is now a mod. But heyho it hamma's party we are just dossing here.
