In addition to the PC release of SimCity this February, EA announced a Mac version of the game is in development. The game will be sold through Origin as a download. EA notes that both PC and Mac players can compete and collaborate together. Development of the Mac version is also being done by Maxis.

    I'd be more impressed if they focused on Linux, specifically ubuntu. Valve is already starting to pave the way to open up real gaming on linux, and I hope other bigger companies follow suit. It's time to recognize how far linux has come, and how having a free OS that out-performs windows in many respects is a big freaking deal. I love Apple, and I am glad to see it supported, but closed systems aren't the future.

    Perfect! I have an 11" MacBook and I've always dreamed of building the Big Apple on a small Apple.

    Please make a console port. I will renounce my hate of EA if they do.

    thank you lord

    Great, no Steam...oh well, not buying anymore. Origin doesn't work well IMO. The interface was awkward, and plus, it said I couldn't play the BF3 beta...which was a free, open beta....uninstalled, day one.

    Still always online. No thanks EA. You could offer this game with a free  Troy ounce of gold in the box, and I'd still TPB it.

    Only available on Origin?  Still requiring a constant internet connection even to play single player?

    Cities XL is getting more fun each day.

    I wonder if Origin will have something similar to SteamPlay...or if the PC and Mac versions have to be bought separately.

    EA is really striving for Origins to succeed.

    This is great to hear.  I do have Windows 7 running on my MBP but much prefer to game through OS X.  By the time Sim City is released though I'll probably have my gaming rig finished.  Glad to see they are coin this though!
