Slitherine

Servus,

if i buy Panzer Corps now and play it on my girlfriends PC - can i have the MAC-key later without a second purchase?

Greetings,

They keys will be the same for PC & Mac but at the moment we dont have a process to get the Mac version to you.

I can't say for sure this will be possible at this stage I'm afraid.

Servus,

that means what? That there might be NO Panzer Corps on Mac? There will never be one on MAC? Or there will be one for sure - but the time for it could be 2015?

Or did i get it all wrong and you referred to the keys? Sometimes my english knowledge seems to be the one of a 3rd grade

I've interrogated Slitherine and Lordz about this several times.

I've always been told that there will be a Mac release, but they will not guarantee a timeframe. In the meantime, I have been playing vicariously through the boards.

I asked about a Christmas Mac release, and they said definitely not. I asked about a Spring release, and they told me no guarantees.

I doubt very much that they would lie to the Mac users about a release. But 2015 may not be too far from the truth. hehe

I play it on my Macbook Pro using Parallel. Of course, it's an extra outlay but perhaps it's better than waiting?

40€ for parallels and additional 90€ for a windows to play a 20€ game (even if i hunger for playing it) is not an option for me...

But i would like to ask once more: can i use the windows-version-key later for a non-second purchase of Panzer Corps on a Mac version? Please just a "yes" or "no". It's a NO for me, if right at the moment no one knows.

ps: i apologize, if the question was already answered - in this case, just refer to my insufficient knowledge of the english language
pps: and please answer it once more anyway

"that means what? That there might be NO Panzer Corps on Mac?"

A really interesting question. Still waiting for the answer.

It is in the plan but we dont have a date. Same answer as before

Thanks Condor, but I'm not complaining about the wait. Well, maybe a little bit but I think that's more impatience and anxiousness than it is complaining.

I would only complain about two things:

First, Slitherine not releasing a Mac version. But there is no complaint there. Slitherine has never given any indication that they wouldn't release a Mac version. All of Slitherine's information from the development phases to the present have said there will be a Mac version.

Second, Slitherine not keeping their word on the Mac version release date. There is no complaint there either. Slitherine has never specified a release date, so how can you complain about that? Now if Slitherine posts a release date and doesn't keep it, then yes, let's pepper the boards with complaints. But they have never specified or hinted about a release date.

You are asking for a design and pricing strategy on a product not yet in existence. It's not a "yes" or a "no". It's probably a "we'll see".

Mac users have always been the shirt-tail relatives of the computer gaming world. You either accept this or a buy a PC.
