EA (Mac) game support?
Are they just completely incompetent or do they just not care? I summited a query why Need for Speed: Carbon crashes more that Lindsey Lohan behind the wheel of her car and got no response. What was ironic is that I was sent a satisfaction survey by them after they failed to do anything about my query. As far as I can tell EA could give a damn about the Mac and are just popping stuff out for the platform for a laugh.
Games are getting a hammering on Apple.com as well; except for the inevitable fan boys giving it a 5 to jones up the rating. My initial impressions are NFS: Carbon is a buggy mess, Battlefield has a high learning curve (no tutorial for instance) that gets dull quickly and C&C:3 (after update) is by far the best of the three.
Update: NFS: Carbon is one of the few programs that hard crashes OSX that is really some achievement.

I really can’t see the point of complaining about game support for a Mac, If you want to play games buy a pc, Nintendo, x-box or Playstation, ie buy something fit for the purpose of playing games rather than some form of highbrow status symbol.
Well the reason I am playing the EA games for the Mac is that I am reviewing them for various sites. Other companies can release perfectly stable and playable games for the Mac, like Microsoft, so why the hell can’t EA?
