Yes, not giving CIV a pass. They dropped the ball here. I was just pointing out the root of the issue.

CIV has Mac players, but you might be overestimating with the word “lots”.
According to Steam and other sources…
Windows: Dominates the platform with approximately 96.78% of users. macOS: Accounts for about 1.30% of users. Linux: Represents around 1.92% of users.

Even if Civ has more average Mac players, let’s just say 4 times more than the Steam figures, you’re still looking at 5.2% Mac vs PC that plays CIV. Those figures would be considered a rounding error.
I think my point is not CIVs commitment to Mac players. It’s Apple’s lack of commitment to gamers. Until Apple opens up 3rd party hardware support, developers will continue to treat you and your cohort a niche segment.

I game on a PC exclusively because all games are optimized for the PC and everything else is an afterthought.
It makes sense tho.
Mac lacks 3rd party video card hardware support so why would developers try and develop for a system that the company doesn’t care about gaming.

I own a Skydio and they were the only ones. Until recently they exited from the consumer space.
