OP, are you playing Total War: Warhammer 3 because you have the other two and figured, hey, might as well get the third one and play it in Immortal Empires mode, or are you playing just Warhammer 3?

I'm judging you either way, though. One of those is, goddamn, a big pile of sunk money in the true Warhammer spirit. But the other on its own just can't be justified at all.

People won't make games for Macs because Mac users only use their computers for audio production, video production, writing reports, and stock trading.

and it's fine for all of those things. macs are basically just running a locked-down hack of freebsd that makes sure that that cateogry of programs works without constant configuration dickery that you don't have time for if your job is to bang on media timelines all day

yeah, you're right, that's probably the reason the witcher 3 was not ported to mac. CDPR was gonna do it, but they didn't want to shell out for the mandatory monitor stands.

It's actually because the tooling and processes around Mac loving suck. Apple purposely sabotages their poo poo or makes you take it up the rear end something fierce. Wanna make a game? Hope you are willing to get in bed with Metal. Also, the API might just change because the ghost of Jobs demands it. Also, your OS-level tooling all sucks. Also, Apple will make it super inconvenient to release anything on any of their platforms.

The platform sucks balls

The fast food culinary scene owe's a great deal to the Austro-Hungarian Burger Kingdom for conquering both Ireland and Scotland during the battle of Sodacourt with the aid of the Hungryman Empire.

depends on what tooling you mean, there are plenty of big and small engines with native mac support. if you're trying to port something that's tied really deep to direct x or vulkan, then yeah, it might be a pain. you pretty much have to decide up front when you start a project if you want to support mac or not, and most game studios aren't gonna go out of their way to do it because it's a small market, not because they can't figure out how to do it.

This film was written and directed by a Mac Powerbook G3 that was hit by lightening and became sentient.

After the abysmal reviews it never wrote or directed again.
