Not at all, but nice try at guessing. The game is still trash. I'd rather play Star Flight on Sega Genesis.
Got a tip for us?

The concept of "side loading" is unique to closed platforms like iOS. Sourcing software without capricious restrictions is how computers are supposed to work.
lord rolling eyes...... I must have high hopes for games on the mac as its pretty sad right now. Dear apple Pay for some current games like real ones to be developed for the MAC. Start with COD since is already pretty good on the mobile version.
That doesn’t say it will fix the background issue. I don’t care about fancy animations. Why if Steam has been running in the background for an hour or so it takes 1-2 minutes to click the cat window and have it respond? This is the worst program I have ever used.Sigh...here

Activision is in the (very long) process of getting bought out by Microsoft. Tough luck.
Unfortunately, that's how all electron.js applications work lol. They chug resources by running in the background, wasting resources and battery life, since their optimization is so poor it takes too long to open and close them.
Thanks for the heads up! Won't waste my time looking for it.
Describing your post as ”crying“ was ridiculous, quite over the top. 🙈 Loved your droll response: “OK”. 😎 Brilliant!
Elden Ring would be great.
I am looking forward to seeing videos of Macs destroyed in rage
Just finished 100% completion on my PS5

As a sidenote, go play Hi Fi Rush. Seriously it's so good. Guy gets an iPod stuck into his chest and now the world around him moves to the beat of music, and a crazy corporation wants him dead since he's a "defect" and you gotta stop them. Even combat moves to the beat of the music.
There is no unique flora, it's all pre-built models. The fauna is also not unique, its just a preset bunch of assets semi-randomly thrown together, so you very quickly start seeing the same stuff again and again, just like with the spaceships and buildings. None of the textures or planet biomes are procgenned either. It's a good game, but the procgen is very limited, and what you see gets extremely repetitive once you've visited a few planets.
That said, it will be really interesting to see how this benchmarks compared to other platforms.
I can't go to the Steam store until I get home from work... anyone know offhand if the Mac port works on IntelMacs, or is it M-series processors only?
OK, I might have lied a little. Steam is not an electron.js application, but it runs on a different, but functionally EXTREMELY similar web architecture that works in a very similar way. That's probably why steam's client has so many issues.
OMG. That might be the only thing that could make me buy a VR setup. Heck, I'd settle for a native port of Skyrim I could play on the Mac. I loved that game, but on a PS3, man is it slow to load.
i was so excited for this back in the day i bought the collectors edition with the model spaceship (never opened it) AND THEN bought the game again for playing it...........boy did i regret all that
Starfield for mac?!… in 2033TODD GET OFF MACRUMORS AND GET BACK TO WORK ON STARFIELD! WE'RE NOT FALLING FOR IT AGAIN!
It's even more incredible in VR, especially since VR mode has exclusive cockpit controls for ships and mechs.
Funny how "99% of the game is walking or grinding" is also my 5 stars review for Grindr.
Ah but you see I would love to actually enjoy it I just don’t know what there is to enjoy.
I’ve often wondered why Apple haven’t done this already and concluded, against my initial instinct, that it may not be worth it for Apple in the long term. Yes, Apple could release a console and yes it would disrupt the market.
But they would be entering an already competitive landscape. Are people going to go out and buy an Apple console when they already own a PS5/Xbox/Switch? Well some will, but the uptake will be fairly low, especially in the early years.
And as the years progressed and new consoles are released, Apple would have to offer something incredible to entice people to switch to their platform. It would have to be something ridiculous like GTA6 (or by then 7?) exclusivity - And something like that will cost a lot - sure Apple can afford it, but will the reward be worth it in the long term? The existing triopoly already have their own exclusives too.
And so instead we have Apple Arcade which doesn’t really have direct competitor as such - maybe Xbox Game Streaming but that is double the price and has a completely different type of game.
And of course all this leads nicely to the VR headset - rather than release a ‘classic console’ Apple are poised to enter the gaming market from a different angle. The uptake of VR across the industry is fairly low so I guess they’re hoping they can dictate the shape what is currently a smaller gaming market, become dominant in the VR area and grow the marker as market leader.
