    Definitely going to be released. I heard whispers of August a few months ago.

    Thanks cherryghost -I know..went into GAME today (thought it was to be released on June 11th), but no joy! New to Mac - and bit fed up with it - fab stuff, but feel like I've sold my soul to Apple- it's fairly restrictive!

    I think it was already meant to be released by now, but the initial server issues and some teething problems with the Mac version forced it back a few months. I would imagine it should still be out soon though.

    If you buy it in Origin right now you'll have access to the Mac version when it's released, which is pretty stupid imo. Most people who buy it now will buy it for Windows version.

    I think the Mac version is digital download only. Ill believe the August release date when it happens, it was to be released on the 11th June but they announced it was going to be pushed til August on the 5th June. Sneaky!

    Sneaky is true and typically why Mac is maddening

    I was wondering that myself. So is it like Steam, in that when you buy a game you get access to bother versions?
