StarCraft: Remastered will offer the classic real-time strategy game’s campaign and multiplayer mode updated for “4K UHD” resolution.

At one point in time, Valve had said that their software would never appear on the Mac despite the high demand due to the toolstack it was only well into the Steam era that they took Mac gaming seriously and ported their entire library to macOS, and had admitted that it didn't actually take them too much effort to do so.Blizzard Entertainment will re-release the original StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War as a high-definition remake called StarCraft: Remastered, Blizzard president Mike Morhaime announced during the company’s I <3 StarCraft event in Seoul, Korea today.

(Even if the toolstack for macOS and iOS/iPadOS are almost the same, they are different enough to not quite bridge the gap.)Ĭase in point: Valve. That's not vendor lock-in at all, it looks like game developers are willing to lock themselves out. After all, conventional wisdom suggests that Macs are still in the minority of desktop and laptops, and as such, only the most passionate of developers are willing to make that investment.Īpple doesn't go out of the way to make things hard - the way to develop macOS apps has arguably been the same since NeXTStep and Classic Mac - it's very different from PC game development, due to using a completely different set of tools to begin with.
STARCRAFT REMASTERED UPDATE
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M or ATI Radeon HD 5670 or betterĪs you can see (as of April 2021), it hasn't been updated since 10.15, so really blizzard should update their page to mention compatibility, as of now, it is kind of false advertisingĭo you believe that people are deterred due to vendor lock-in? I believe that it's on the part of game developers who need to learn completely new tooling and processes, and do not see a return on investment in doing so.

NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT or ATI™ Radeon™ HD 2600 Pro Oh and for a reference, heres the SC:R System Requirements r/wow /r/diablo /r/hearthstone /r/heroesofthestorm /r/overwatchīut Blizzard are advertising this game as supported on recent macs when in fact it's not, they were given warning, and time to fix, they got a version of WOW out for M1, it is a matter of not wanting to invest the time to fix issues in games they make money from.
