Windows Bigotry

I’m a big fan of history…both reading about it and writing in it (fiction). So, whenever a game comes out set in a historical setting, I always want to play it (damn you, Corey, for taking Rome: Total War from me!!). Anyway, when I saw this game mentioned via GamePolitics, I thought “coolness, a chance to play a game set in the early part of the first millennium of the CE!”

That is, until I sent an email to the developer asking about the platform choices and got this back:

“Thank you for your interest in our projects, unfortunately we do not support Mac Platforms. Best regards.”

Look, people, what is with you and your incessant need to support a platform that touts how wonderful it is that it’s most recent OS beta matches and sometimes exceeds the benchmarks in gaming of a previous OS years out of date, while ignoring an OS that has created wonderful advances in gaming, including the recent decision to work with NVidia to use an awesome video card that works especially well with the company’s most advanced hardware and software?

Oh, yeah. You don’t care.
