Thats great news. I've been anxiously awaiting for Spore to released. The fact that it will be made for the Mac platform too is even better. Thanks for posting this. :D
 
The fact that this awesome concept is actually coming out this year is the best news! On a mac is just that much better.

I'll pass, and pick it up on one of the other platforms. It's not a native Mac port, but one of the Cider ports. According to a post in the other Spore thread, they haven't been that good....
 
Why do they bother to give us unoptimised ports? (if what the above post is saying is true) Seems a bit pointless to me. However, the Mac EVE cider port was certainly improved performance-wise after a month or so after its release.


Regardless, I'm getting it, whether for Mac or PC.

EDIT: just read the article and "The upshot, he added, is that from a user's standpoint, playing Spore on a Mac should be a seamless experience, with no noticeable differences from the PC version."

So it shouldn't be a problem.
