More Game Developers Headed to Mac

Following Valve's announcement that Steam is headed to Mac, other developers such as DICE and Gas Powered Games are considering the jump as well.

According to an AppleInsider report, Gas Powered Games has just released its latest title, "Supreme Commander 2," for Steam, and founder Chris Taylor tells The Escapist that as a result of Steam's move to the Mac, his development studio hopes to release future games for Mac OS X.

"We, as a developer, will include a Mac platform option in all of our proposals moving forward," Taylor said. "We're in 100 percent support of it, absolutely."


Taylor noted that because of Apple's use of Intel processors, PC games are "very easy" to port to Mac and the tremendous growth of the platform makes it an attractive opportunity.

"It shows that the OS X platform is really picking up speed," he told author Greg Tito. "That's super exciting, we need that in the world. We need that kind of balance in our market."

Other development studios are considering the jump as well. Karl-Magnus Troedsson, lead developer with DICE, tweeted that "Bad Company 2" could be released for Mac at some point.

"We're currently investigating the possibility of making BFBC2 available on Mac," he wrote.
