As of now, macsoft is not going to release Age of Mythology The Titans for mac/apple computers. With your help, we may be able to convince them to change their minds. Even if you arent a mac user or AoM player, please take 30 seconds to fill out your name and email to help a cause!

P.S. If an admin or moderator could sticky this, that would be great!

wow, they released the first one for Macs? I'm impressed. I mean its Microsoft, the makers of the OS that runs on the PC, why would they do something for macs if they want people to by thier OS?

Yep another typical person in the 21th century, only in interest of helping themselves, unless they get something out of it. And ya, Microsoft makes apps/programs for both platforms, and they dont favor one or the other. Microsoft doesnt make computers they make software. Some Hardware, like Xbox, but you dont see Microsoft computers around. Microsoft gave Apple 40 million dollars to keep the competition alive, so Microsoft is NOT favoring PCs over macs. Oh yea and Microsoft didnt make it for macs, Macsoft did, no argue, Microsoft can give rights to Macsoft to convert any game (the competition factor again), and Microsoft will still get richer. Macsoft has to judge which games to convert or not in the eyes of profit. Just like Halo 2 may not be made for PC cause it bombed its expectations [:p]

Btw X, why do you (and many other people) hate macs. Because they perform better and are physically cooler looking? Just a question I would love to have answered.

geez the rudeness... you make yourself look as only your opinion is right and everyone else's is wrong. I wouldn't be suprised if others read your replies they would also negate to signing the petition as I have.

Ya I know WWS, I tend to be very opiniative, only when someone starts to dis macs though. Ya you could get more points through rating and posting, but most peeps dont rate, so its sort of promoting it and if not I am sorry. Thanks Screamomatic

BTW Scream, I dontated 50 cause I figured others wouldnt even bother clicking the link.

Umm, Brtnboarder, you said typical american to x's post, but hes norwegian. And I will not sign the petition either. Sorry but IMO macs are excellent for mathematical equating, word processing, etc, but not for gaming. Once again sorry but no can do.

Thats ok E-man, btw I do not think Pc's are that great but yet I sign petitions for them. Why not help some one out? Jeez, macs may not be the best gaming comps, I have never tested them or compared them to PC's. However are you against the making of a game for a platform? If you were in my position surely you would want signatures. That is what I was refering to when I said thinking of themselves all the time. No prob WWS members though and no hard feelings.

I respect what you are doing whole-heartedly. I agree, I would do the same thing if I were in your place. However, that doesnt mean I have to fill out a petition against what I think, it just means that I still respect your commitment to the petition regardless of my signing or not signing.

I just got to answer to that[;)] I use macs at school. IMO they're crap. They don't perform bether than a computer. For the same price as a mac you could get a superb computer. Cooler looking? I don't think so. The Average pc may look boring, but have you seen some of the newer pc-towers? For instance Lian-Li. Well that is some cool looking towers, way bether than any mac I have seen.

Ya but how many who own pcs get that type? Not many less that 10%, all macs are cool looking and innovative. Plus the one's at school are older that 2000 versions, which are 5 years outdated. Compare a 5 year old pc to a 5 year old mac, the both suck.

Cool looking and innovative? Firstly, thats extremely opinionated, secondly, its wrong. All macs are white. Plain old white. Also, most macs are hideous. Look at an emac and then try telling me what is "cool-looking" about it, aside from its striking resemblance to the hunchback of Notre Dame's hump. And, finally, the pc's at my school are just fine. Please provide more backup for your opinions, as it doesnt mean much to say an opinion and then end right then and there.

Have either of you ever used a mac with 10.2-3 on it? It's the most impressive OS IMO. But to stop this crap, I would like to close this topic

Just to say something: At school I use the amc for video editing. Well trying to edit a big movie at a 5 year old mac would be impossible. We have some of the best macs, I even think one of them are a G5. Not sure though. Also we use a dual LCD screen system with a third screen being a TV monitor. I think that qualify as a good mac[;)] And I don't like it. Fun with the all the screens, but I hate the mac. Give me a pc.
