Overwatch Out ? PS4 And XBox

What utter nonsense Macs are quite capable of running Overwatch at one graphics setting or another.

Will the company change its mind and bring Overwatch to the Mac.

So I was quite unhappy when Blizzard opted not to release Overwatch for macOS.

But some recent comments by a vice president at Blizzard seem to indicate that the company is at least keeping the door open for a Mac release of Overwatch.

Ahead of the games release, the company said that any development on Mac was not in the works and that focus would be on the other platforms.

We are open minded to it, we just need the priorities of our development process to line up with the capabilities of the platform in order for it to become a reality.

It remains unclear what specific Mac-related limitations might be preventing Blizzard from pushing forward in Mac development on Overwatch, but from Kaplans comments it appears that the team wants to ensure the games quality before it would publish it on Apples computers.

Blizzard really should have had Overwatch ready for the Mac a long time ago.

Blizzard has lost money from Mac gamers I think it was quite foolish of Blizzard to not release Overwatch for the Mac.

It should have been available the same day that the Windows version was released.

In fact, Ill go so far as to say that Blizzard threw away some serious money by refusing to release Overwatch on the Mac.

Why Well Mac users tend to have more cash to spend than Windows users.

Apple is an aspirational brand, and it tends to attract folks with higher incomes when it comes to computers and phones.

By keeping Overwatch off the Mac platform, Blizzard made sure that it would not have access to the wallets of Mac users.

This is quite strange considering that Blizzard has kept WOW running on macOS for so many years.

If the Mac version of World of Warcraft wasnt profitable, Blizzard probably would have dumped it a long time ago.

Many Mac gamers have long felt a sense of appreciation of Blizzards commitment to the Mac platform, and not getting Overwatch was like a big slap in the face to some of them.

This has resulted in some Mac gamers resenting Blizzards decision, and thus the company has generated some serious ill will among folks that previously were strong supporters of Blizzard.

And the sad thing was that this all could have been avoided if Blizzard had just released Overwatch for the Mac.

Many Mac gamers used to feel a sense of loyalty to Blizzard given its past support of the Mac platform, but not releasing Overwatch on the Mac has damaged those feelings and caused some Mac users to feel a sense of alienation from Blizzard and its products.

But when Mac gamers click on the Overwatch tab, they see a message letting them know they can buy the game for PC, PS4 and XBox.

Gee, thanks for letting us know that you think our Macs suck and that we should play Overwatch on some other platform, Blizzard Yes, Macs can run Overwatch One of the arguments used by Blizzard and others for not releasing Overwatch for the Mac is that Macs arent capable of running it well.
