Railroad Tycoon Sequel 'Sid Meier's Railroads!' Comes to Mac

Really don't understand trailers that show zero gameplay.

I've noted a fair amount of complaining about the price of the game in this thread. People don't seem to realize that it costs a lot of money to produce and carefully test a high quality native port to OS X of a game. You cannot compare the price of this to an existing windows version that is six years old. This game is newly ported and it cost a lot of money to do that. Please don't underestimate software engineering tasks you probably aren't qualified to evaluate. I see a lot of that in gaming forums as well. People often believe it is a trivial affair to port a game. It isn't. It isn't trivial to properly test it on a variety of machines, configurations and operating system releases either. All that costs money. Last but certainly not least, Feral Interactive is a business, not a charity - they need to make a decent profit to bring us high quality releases for OS X, otherwise it simply is not worth doing. They've got bills to pay just like the rest of us.

Short version: There is no free lunch. Ports cost more money, particularly of the quality Feral is known for.

I think I may buy this one as a hold-me-over until SimCity comes out in February. :D

$30 is asking to be pirated. Mountain Lion is only $19

Mountain Lion is subsidised by hardware sales. Why does everyone expect everything for nothing nowadays?

Is 3 gig of RAM for a six year old game really considered a modest system requirement?
