While game developer Blizzard has a long-standing history of bringing its games to OS X in addition to Windows, the developer today confirmed at its BlizzCon fan convention that it will not be.

Blizzard just wrapped up its annual event, in which it unveiled a new support class for Overwatch named Moira, a new map called Blizzard World, and a new character cinematic focusing on Reinhardt. During the event, no news was given regarding Overwatch expanding to Macs. Unfortunately, a comment made by an Overwatch engineer in a new interview suggests Blizzard is still not planning on launching the game for Mac anytime soon. Tim Ford, the lead software engineer for gameplay systems on Overwatch, told that Blizzard has 'no plans' of launching Overwatch on Mac.

Ford said this is due to 'several technology decisions' Apple has made on Macs, which make it 'a little difficult' for Blizzard to create a Mac version of the game. With Overwatch being available on the PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC, it’s one of the rare Blizzard games that’s not on the Mac. It's odd considering that every other Blizzard title has graced Apple’s line of computers. Ford explained why Overwatch will not be making it to the Mac.

“We have no plans of giving this game on the Mac,' says Ford. 'There are several technology decisions that Apple has made that has made it a little difficult for us to release Overwatch in the way we want it to be consumed, and that is why we haven't pursued it.' Before Overwatch launched in May 2016, Blizzard said a Mac version was because it was 'just too challenging' at that point to support Apple's platform, due to the 'technology behind Macs.' Then, in May 2017, Blizzard vice president Jeff Kaplan said the company is keeping an ' about bringing Overwatch to Mac gamers, it just needs the 'priorities of our development process to line up with the capabilities of the platform.' As news of the Mac installer spread online, reached out to a Blizzard representative, who stated that the Overwatch development team has 'nothing to announce at this time' regarding a Mac launch for the game.

For now, Overwatch is available to play on Windows PCs, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. That's ok, I still have 'No Plans' for buying it. [doublepost=][/doublepost]And they are full of **** anyway. Any Mac with Metal 2 support could run Overwatch no problem. Basically Blizzard is saying the time and talent investment is not worth it compared to the return on that investment.
