Note: This game does not support the GMA950 integrated graphics card.

So, EA is not writing games that will work on MacBooks. There are going to be a lot of unhappy MB users out there...

Edit: Maybe this has been discussed before... It was news to me.

Nor will it run on any G4/G5 chip either, it seems.

Right you are! I think the original announcement had mentioned this.

So, their target audience is only MBP, iMac and Mac Pro's? Doesn't it seem like not having MB's and Mini's are going to have them miss out on a lot of gamers? I realize that the GMA950 is a slug for gaming, but that eliminates a LOT of users.

Hopefully there is a more powerful integrated graphics option (965 or x3100?) that these games can run on...
