I'm afraid I don't understand.

Did I mention Txurce's post? He seems like a pretty smart guy.

hi ,

instead of being hush - hush about its numbers and all , a software firm in todays world should not have a problem with saying what and where it sold so and so , .....

why , simple , this is great pub , great pr , so what if one sells less then the other , that is a clear indication that people dont like it , .....


as for the post , well instead of humping behind a pc game its about time the mac games make something that pc can run after , ....

all this wait is infact a real blow to the people who play and buy games and to the people who make and sell them , ......

dont wait and see , be creative , innovate , .....

a great deal of people dont buy apple for that simple reason , 99.99 of the games runs after the pc version , ...

not everyone has two OS just to play that one game , ....

yes , i do that , and there are plenty of others , .....

now , thats an outright shame (!)

when , just when are we going to see a game like civ to come out mac first or at least at the same time then pc , .... when , .... the day the people in the gaming industry wake up and see this , thats a day that a lot more games shall be sold , resulting in cuts in R & D , pr , and a whole bunch of other cost , .... thats the day the games shall drop in prices because more of them are being sold , ......

have a nice day

**shrug** Maybe this comes as a shock to some folks, but one of the factors that consumers calculate when making major purchases — such as computers — is availability of software.

It just seems sad to have only three-quarters of the Civ III game ported to the Mac — the remaining quarter being PtW — thus leaving it a sort of "rump" (incomplete) game, IMO. I love the Mac platform, but it's just becoming really difficult to justify spending $2700 (top-of-the-line iMac, printer, extra memory, various fees and software) when I can get a decent PC capable of playing Civ III (and PtW) and surfing the Internet in the $1000 range (or less).

I'm not an artist. I'm not a musician. I'm not (technically) an educator. My reason for using a Mac is purely personal because I like the platform. But if there isn't a single game available on the platform that I like (the Civ series), then maybe it's just better to get an el cheapo PC for $500 and check out Civ III that way.

**sigh** A decision such as this shouldn't be necessary.

You know it does seem odd that in a time of increasing software support(applications, games, etc.) for us that there is no news about a PTW expansion pack for Civ3. Perhaps they are just waiting for the Conqerors expansion pack to come out in order to unify the effort. Still, I agree that Civ3 is incomplete(in my personal opinon not just on the mac, but i digress).
