Mac and EA Getting Their Game Faces On
Good news for Mac users who want more game selection. Because of the high numbers of staff members, family and friends who have switched to Mac, EA’s head honcho has decided to expand EA Game’s Mac focus to include all of their titles. There is no mention of how many of the games currently in their portfolio will work with the older 950 GMA video card models, but it’s a start.
EA hasn’t announced when the first titles will be available yet, but from the tone of the interview it sounds like they will be aggressively pursuing this. I would suggest looking for EA Games on the Mac OS platform with the year.
Executives from game publisher heavyweights Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS) Latest News about Electronic Arts (EA) and Id Software joined Apple’s (Nasdaq: AAPL) Latest News about Apple CEO Steve Jobs onstage at the Apple World Wide Developer Conference in San Francisco to announce that both companies would port their popular games to the Macintosh Latest News about Macintosh computer platform.
“I have two teenage daughters. They live on MacBook. I have friends in the music business, in the movie business, in the photography business, in the graphic design business. They live on OS X. Our CTO at Electronic Arts lives on Mac, and we’re seeing EA technologists move to Mac in droves,” Bing Gordon, EA cofounder and chief creative officer, explained.
“And what do they all want … in addition to a cinema display? They want to go into an Apple store and they want to see all the latest EA games, simultaneously released with all of the other platforms. So I’m here today to announce we are going to rectify the situation. Starting in July, we are going to bring four of our biggest titles to run on OS X.”
