“Mac users are still waiting two months after game maker Electronic Arts promised to increase its development efforts for the Mac OS X platform,” Shaun Nichols reports for vnunet.com.
“Executives from the world’s largest games developer promised simultaneous launches on Windows and OS X platforms at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference last June,” Nichols reports.
“They specifically mentioned the launch of Madden NFL 08, but no OS X version was available when the game went on sale on 14 August,” Nichols reports.
“The games company did not return numerous phone calls seeking clarification. Apple directed all inquiries to EA,” Nichols reports.

honestly, i thought at the time they announced that it was only that they saw Apple as a rising star and they wanted people to think they knew it, and took Apple seriously…
now we know they are just not ready, and they look worse than if they had just wrote the games and suddenly released them.
oddly, the only thing it is hard to do on a Mac is game, yet the wintrolls call them toys.
MW: what is the “deal” with wintrolls!
Oh Noes! I’ll have to wait longer for Madden!!!

anyone playing games not on a home console is a tard, seriously.
Anybody who dedicates a TV to playing console games instead of just using a more powerful and capable multifunction device (computer) to do so likes to give money away and either has no life or single.
I’ve got 2 Dreamcasts, a PS2, an Xbox. None of them ever get used. I’m on my computer everyday.
And all you poor fools waiting for all the first run games to come out on the Mac…. have a nice wait. You are just pissed because you’ve spent so much money on an iMac with inadequate graphics and no upgradability because Uncle Steve told you it’s an all in one world. Why? Because Apple can milk us for all it’s worth.
EA Games…..One hit whores………
EA Games…..M$ Spores…….
EA Games …..Announcement Bores……
EA Games……I’d rather Snore!!!
Ps & Drink Camel’s Milk!!
Anybody who didn’t grow out of playing video games by themselves once they got a car is a tard, seriously. Go out and live for real, guys.
Oh yeah! & fart into a mouth organ!!! Ha! ha! ha! haaaa!!!!!
easy solution… AAPL buys EA… thatʻs the only way it doesnʻt get delayed. when MSFT bot bungie, it pretty much messed them up… imagine the lost sales in bungie initially limited to Xbox/windows.
so, i say AAPL buy ERTS (Electronic Arts). if u really want it uʻr way. and then design cool games for the iPhone too while uʻr at it.
iʻm not a gamer, but own apple stock…
on a side note, AAPL shouldnt buy ADBE yet…
Well, jooop and others,
I just bought a PS3 to go along with my HD TV that I bought myself for my birthday. I enjoy it – don’t play it everyday, but when I do, it’s pretty slick.
Oh, and I do live… seriously.
