Harald Aarvig Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Does anyone know if the Direct2drive download of FM2011 contains the Mac version? Only Windows mentioned on the site, but other downloads for PC seems to contain Mac as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted November 8, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted November 8, 2010 No - Mac is only available via eSellerate and Steam as fas as I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocovla Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Unfortunately I've encountered this issue after I've already bought the Windows version. Been using the Windows version since the release of the game but switched to a Mac a couple of weeks ago. As you can imagine I'm also looking to use my FM 2011 on my Mac without dual booting or virtual machines. So I sent in a ticket to Direct2Drive who informed me that they do not have the Mac version and it's therefore Windows only :-( Anyone know if it's possible to sell on a digital version of a game so I can use the money to buy a boxed version?

Maidel Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 If you get it via steam it let's you use either version, so when you are bored posing with your mac you can go and buy a proper computer and still play the game. I just don't understand steam hate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand steam hate. Then again I don't get the Mac hate ;-) But I'm not interested in getting into a useless format discussion :-) Direct2Drive was cheaper than the Steam version back then so I opted for them instead of Steam. A mistake in hindsight. I'm just a tad disappointed that I'm not able to use my game on a Mac like Steam users and buyers of boxed copies can. Looks like I have to rebuy this specific title but I won't be using Direct2Drive in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get why apple makes it so difficult for games designers to make their games compatable. I've had nothing but trouble with direct to drive and compatability issues that I've actually rebought games on steam just for my own sanity. My old pc died a month ago (perfect timing for new superfast fm playing!) and steam made everything so easy. Install steam (5min) try to remember which email address and password I used (20 min) and left it running over night and I had all my games back. For some games I even have my save games on the cloud via steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
