BioWare Interested in Mac Version of Star Wars: The Old Republic
BioWare Interested in Mac Version of Star Wars: The Old Republic
The chances are pretty good we’ll eventually see a Mac version of the game.
Star Wars: The Old Republic launched at the tail end of December 2011 and is being enjoyed by millions of PC gamers. But what about all the Mac owners left out in the cold? Well, as of right now there are no definitive plans, but BioWare has not turned a complete cold shoulder to OS X owners.
During a recent interview in midtown Manhattan (via Massively), BioWare’s studio heads Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk mentioned that they are fully aware of the outcry for a Mac version of Star Wars: The Old Republic. They also understand the audience desiring such a product is quite large, which would, in turn, result in big money. Therefore, through simple logic, a Mac version of Star Wars: The Old Republic is in the cards, but it’s not something BioWare is ready to fully commit to just yet.
"We know there's a big Mac audience of BioWare fans … we know that's an important and large audience. And we want to serve that audience," said Muzyka. However, Zeschuk followed up that with a simple reply, “I’d say ‘not yet.’”
As of right now, impatient Mac owners can run The Old Republic on their machines using a program such as Parallels or Boot Camp; however, that’s not an optimal setup. So let’s hope somewhere down the road us Mac owners can travel to a galaxy far, far away. On that note, I’ll leave you with one final quote of hope from BioWare’s Zeschuk:

Unpacking the SWTOR boxes: Normal vs Collector's edition
Today we received our actual copy of the SWTOR game! Everyone who pre-ordered the game will get it in their hands in the next couple of days.
As you know, the game comes in two versions: normal edition and collector's edition. We managed to get our hands on both of them, and here's what you'll expect to find inside the boxes:
Nothing special about this game case. It is a normal DVD case with the disks and no manual at all. I was expecting something better from Bioware/EA...
This first image on the left is a normal plastic double-DVD case. .The sticker says: "Official Game Access does not begin until Dec. 20 2011"
The contents of the case: Three (3) DVDs, one keyboard layout card and of course the access code for the game (not in the picture).
