Hi. I'm a Mac.

I'm safe and easy to use, I have a rapidly growing video game library and I'm not spying on you.

how are those iphone ports and cookie clicker clones treating you?

So instead of being able to play like 5 games, now you can play 10? That's literally double the games!

gtfo you faggot

as a mac owner, i'll say this:

mac are overpriced piece of garbage, overshadowed by far by a hackintosh.

only reason to buy a mac is if you're retarded or develop shit for ios/osx

I don't think the PC gaming market is ever going to accept Apple's prices. The packaging just isn't worth the added expense and historically Apple has had very little interest in gaming. Maybe that's changing with all the money they've been making selling phone shit on iOS. I think Apple would do better in the console space, but the margins probably aren't high enough for them to bother.

kek, nice try to shield yourself with the "dev" bullshit though. Which is even hilarious because without the "retards", people wouldn't develop for ios. So even if you'd be a dev, you're saying that your work is for nothing because only retards buy macs. If you're plan was to out yourself as a fucking idiot, congratulations.

Leaving aside the whole "As a black man, I don't think this is racist" type of comment, which, lets be honest here, is what your comment is.

>easy to use
Not true, as soon as you need to do something remotely non-casual on a mac you need to get into terminal. I don't have anything against it but most people will. Also if you encounter some weird trouble you are unlikely to find solution on the net, or it would take much more time than to solve it on windows.

>video game library
Still just drop in the sea, also hardware is usually sub-optimal, overpriced and drivers on osx are meh and you won't get same performance as you would if you installed windows on the same mac, but why the fuck use windows on a mac, it's retarded since even newer windows can't properly into high resolution and trackpad, and well osx is just better.

>not spying on you

I love macs but you don't buy them to play games. Useful, versatile, sexy as fuck, very comfortable input. For vidya purposes it's shit.

Unfortunately OS X is crippled for gaming by Apple who would rather push gaming off to their mobile platforms. So you only get OpenGL 4.1 support and Apple's proprietary Metal API which lacks features like Tessellation.

GNU/Linux is where the real future of PC gaming lies after the desktop Windows EOL. OpenGL 4.5 with proprietary drivers, OpenGL 4.2 with the Open Source drivers (Intel is still stuck at 3.3 though lol), and support for Vulkan the new open industry standard.

OS X still has a lead in total number of games, but Linux is gaining rapidly as it will pass the 2000 released titles mark on Steam this week.

my 27' imac has a 3.4ghz quad core i7 16gb of ram a 500gb ssd and a 2gb amd 6970m gfx card also it uses an LED display quite as shit and doesnt take up anyspace in my appartment
>>
>>332545330
So a Pre-GCN GPU that you probably can't upgrade and that AMD now has limited support for. Even if AMD did decide to update their drivers, Apple would restrict it to OpenGL 4.1.

On Linux the unofficial Mesa R600g OpenGL support is actually close to passing Apple both in performance and features.

Given that /v/ thinks everyone who tries to make money is a jew, they're just more jews.

/v/ doesn't really have the capacity to accommodate a more sophisticated worldview.

Nvidia are jews though. I dont see amd working with developers to make games as broken as possible for people that use nvidia gpus and shit as well as being generaly unoptimized as shit in order to force people to buy their new overpriced shit

Please buy from our increasingly more confusing iPad lineup, Macbooks that our fan sites recommend not to buy, or Mac PC's that haven't been updated in years. We're still catching up to Android features in iOS, btw

Apple is going to break its own magic within the decade unless they change something.

Keep living in denial. Apple's OpenGL 4.1 support is even slower than Catalyst. The Open Source drivers already have patches to enable OpenGL 4.2 support and are also getting close to 4.3 support. The only outstanding features that there aren't patches for to my knowledge are compute shaders (the work is ongoing) and robust buffer access (don't think its started).

Working at an Ad Agency we all use macs. I don't mind it and sometimes we play some indie games MP on them.

But fuck, not for home use, and not for expansive gaming.

(iMac is the best screen-pc on the market, but a shit pc though)
>>
>>332550949
Its likely that all the robustness extensions will be added at once. It doesn't make much sense to work on the 4.3 extension without also doing the 4.5 extensions as well. Core Mesa is one feature away from 4.3 compliance, two features away for 4.4, and three features for 4.5.
