There’s another aspect of Cider that needs to be considered. What will be the ramifications of it for those still hoping for native Mac OS X games? If company’s like EA can quickly and easily use Cider then why should anybody bother to create native Mac OS X games?

After using it for a while as the demo, I have developed quite a wish list. I am seriously considering purchasing this DJ software, and making it part of my band's live performances. Why DJ Mixer Pro is the #1 choice of the DJ software? Try also: Forza Horizon 3 Mac OS. The most exciting feature which you will enjoy if you download Forza Horizon 4 Mac OS is the “Season Change”. This is something brand new and unseen in any racing game for Mac. You will drive across a fictional United Kingdom open-world, exploring and collecting new cars. Evil Portals is a collection of portals that can be loaded into the Evil Portal module and can be used for phishing attacks against WiFi clients in order to obtain credentials or infect the victims with malware using the Hak5 WiFi Pineapple Tetra and Nano.

In the past companies like Aspyr ported Windows games to run natively on the Mac. What kind of future does Aspyr or similar companies have in the face of the onslaught of Cider-based games headed for the Mac? Will there be any room left for native Mac game developers? Or will Cider wreak havoc and destroy any hope for native Mac OS X games?

I wish I knew the answer to these questions. I suspect we’ll find out in the years ahead and the end result might be a bloodbath for native Mac game developers and porters. Not a pretty picture to be sure.

1. This is an incomplete list of video games strongly featuring zombies.These games feature creatures inspired by the archetypal flesh-eating zombies seen in horror films, B-movies and literature; such as in the films of George A. Romero.Other variants, such as the faster running zombies, are also included.
2. Get Resident Evil 4 for Nintendo Switch™ at a bargain price!

And what happens if Aspyr and the other companies that port games to Mac are run out of business and then EA and other Cider-based gaming houses decide to drop the Mac again? Where will the Mac get any kind of games at that point? Cider has the potential to be either a very positive force for Mac gamers or it could be something far more sinister and evil…the death knell for all gaming on the Mac.

The Carmack Factor Collides with Hardware Reality

Loyd Case:

One other highlight of the show was John Carmack, who showed off a video clip of id Software’s latest game engine, dubbed “Id Tech 5.” The demo looked very lighting- and texture-heavy. If you consider that the most powerful graphics accelerator on Apple hardware is the aging AMD X1900 XT—only available on the $2,500-plus Mac Pro—then it’s likely that most Mac users will never see the full glory of id’s new engine on a Mac. The iMac line offers the anemic 7300GT, one even begins to question how well EA’s games will run on Mac hardware. Cider is all well and good, but Command and Conquer 3 or Battlefield 2142 running on the 7300GT is pretty pathetic.

It’s likely that Apple will upgrade their desktop line before the Christmas buying season, but for the mainstream Mac user, it’s likely that all they’ll get is the upcoming 8400 series from Nvidia—not exactly high horsepower hardware. However, it’s worth noting that Nvidia’s mobile 8600 line is now available for the MacBook Pro. So maybe the iMacs will also get 8600’s. That’s certainly better, but someone with a 24-inch monitor trying to run Battlefield 2 at full resolution may still be disappointed.

Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies
Curiously enough, none of these questions was raised at WWDC 2007. Jobs, cunning rascal that he is, never brought any of it up and never even took any steps to publicly reassure Aspyr and other Mac gaming companies (and their customers) that their future wasn’t in danger. Nor did he directly confront the possibility that EA and other Cider-gaming mills might withdraw again from the Mac market if sales figures aren’t what they want. Surely the chairman of Apple should have at least broached this touchy and nettlesome topic?

Or perhaps he deliberately omitted these details? Some would say that a lie of omission is still a lie and some would consider Jobs’ omission to be just that: a lie. Steve Jobs would do well to remember that and Mac gamers would do well to view any further statements from Jobs or EA with a major grain of salt until the questions about the performance of Cider-based games are answered and until the true nature and depth of EA’s commitment to the Mac gaming market is clear to everyone.

What say you? Did Apple deliberately lie to Mac gamers? Is Cider a boon or bane to gaming on the Mac? Is native Mac gaming doomed? Share your thoughts in the forum.
