Mac Release For SimCity Just In Time For School To Start
EA and Maxis are getting ready to give SimCity another go on Mac. The game has seen multiple delays on the platform, but a tweet from the official account offers a new release date.
Good news, Mayors! #SimCity is coming to Mac on Aug 29. RT if you can't wait to start building on the Mac.

SimCity has been one of EA's most visibly beleaguered titles, suffering major issues stemming from the online requirements. Mac users have been watching from the sidelines as EA has worked out many of the issues.
Thanks, Nathan.

Our Take
The only thing that might save EA and Maxis in terms of sales on Mac is the dearth of games available on the platform. The fall is a very busy time for gaming, unless you play exclusively on an iMac or Macbook. Here's hoping that this rollout goes better than the first one. But even if it does, will anyone still care?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
