There might be something lost here, a single purchase that covers iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac. Granted it's slightly expensive for an older game however if we take a look at the PC / Console world, there arent that many games you can purchase once and play across all devices. Steam Remote play goes a way to deal with this. Not an apple defender and yes the price for the game is high but offering a sense of perspective

@EverydayMacofficial Ай бұрын

The price makes a whole lot of sense actually. It’s not Apple’s strategy but Capcom’s strategy. They set the price and even decide where to sell it so it’s also Capcom’s choice to not put it on Steam. The reason is of course they want their money back for porting the game. To compare the price with the old PC release is incorrect. This is a new port that cost them money to make. The price also includes iOS port which is something you don't get on Steam. The reason it’s cheap on Steam is because it was released 7 years ago and they have earned back their costs for making the PC port. If they put it on Steam they would be giving away the Mac port for free to all those who have the PC port and earn a lot less so it’s a financial choice. Apple’s software marketing manager Leland Martin have said ”We’re seeing titles come to both Steam and the Mac App Store, and we’re seeing games come to the Mac via Steam exclusively. It’s really up to the developer’s choice, and we help them whichever decision they make.” So it’s the developers’ decision, not Apple’s. This port is for Mac users/gamers. If you already have a PC you wouldn’t buy this anyway.

I wouldn't suggest installing Resident Evil 7 on your Macs, as you'll have lifelong battery problems due to the terrible overheating of the Mac. I had to stay in the game for 30 minutes for the Mac's temperature to heat up to 100 degrees, and in addition get the battery health dropped to 97 percent from 100.

@michaelklein23 26 күн бұрын

I have given up on mac gaming. Besides the prices for the games I feel like the battery drains too fast on my m2 pro 16” mbp when gaming (only tried re4 remake). Recently picked up a steam deck oled and it may not look as good as the screen on the mac but it’s perfectly fine. Downside is I’ve gone a little crazy with the ongoing summer sale and have too many games to play that I can’t choose which one to start. Oh and I have to carry one extra gadget, I really wanted gaming on the mac to work well for this reason.

Yeah I’m not paying $20 for a 7-year old game. On my base M1 Pro I saw checkerboarding on outdoor foliage and Mia’s hair glitching early on. At up to 1330p with MetalFX Quality and very high graphics settings I got a pretty consistent 120fps. Surprisingly I got close to that natively too.

You can say about Assassins Creed Shadows what you want, for A, being a random UBISOFT game with B and very lackluster truthfulness to the original story of a person like Yasuke in a Japan but, its finally a bigger game with great graphic that is instantly getting to the Mac and that needs to be the goal. I would love to also see Monster Hunter Wilds coming with Crossplay and Crosssave for Mac as well next year. I mean, Capcom seem to have some kind of interest or Apple is paying them very good. And I hope this speeds up and is getting faster and faster. Because having the game for 40-80 bucks like on all the other platforms on day 1 is not as bad has paying the same 7 years later. To be fair, that would be the perfect scenario to finally get Day 1 Mac Support for Tripple A games like it happened with Baldures Gate 3 and will happen with AC Shadows.

As I said in your previous video about this, I'm someone who want to game on a Mac, but the games coming are not my preferred genres. (I'm specifically talking about the current Mac Gaming push, I know there are other games on macOS. I've played many before, including many 32-bit games I bought on the App Store which I can no longer play.) They really should have used a wider selection of games than Resident Evil, Death Stranding, and Assassin's Creed. Who knows, maybe they tried to get more people interested and what we've seen over the last year is all that responded. Maybe there's more they just can't talk about? As for the price.... 1) Bad timing. Apple should have known that their competition better. 2) Developers / Publishers need to recoup their costs, so when you could get RE7 for $15-20 on Steam, $40 on the App Store tells me a) they don't think they can either get too many players on Mac / iOS, or b) it cost them a descent amount to port it to Mac / iOS.

@EverydayMacofficial 29 күн бұрын

@@Xlippo May sound like a contradiction but again it’s Capcom’s way of maximizing their profit. People who have it on Steam and played it on their PC may still be interested to play it on their Mac or iPhone/iPad. So Capcom knows there is a demand and they want to sell new copies instead of giving it away for free, especially when the sales numbers would be much lower than the PC version. If they put it on Steam they wouldn’t be able to sell those extra copies. Now that it’s only on MAS PC gamers wouldn’t bother to buy it BUT there is a higher chance they would than if it was free on Steam. So Capcom simply wants you to buy a new macOS/iOS version. Since most PC gamers who already own a copy wouldn’t buy it on MAS there’s no reason to complain about the price either which is the same on Steam when it’s not on sale.

especially for these earlier AAA release games coming to mac, apple should really help eat some of the costs and pass them on to the consumer. less than 3000 downloads for AC mirage (reportedly) is pathetic. their marketing and push for them are terrible. it's insane how powerful these devices are but they're pricing themselves out of any competition. they need to go the gamepass route and offer them in a package like apple arcade. people would surely pay a little more a month to get access to much more premium gaming experiences they're used to on console & PC

Such a dumb video. Mac gamers are not in a position to demand the same prices as PC gamers, the catalog and market share isn’t there. If you truly want to encourage games to come to the Mac, then the brutal truth is you will have to pay more at least for the time being. Also consider the fact you are getting the iOS and iPadOS versions as well. If on the other hand, you just want more click bait titles, then carry on.
