It's apple that really needs to respond to the user base and create a gaming machine/OS flavour. I have a macbook pro myself but if I play flash games on it (which you would think wouldn't hurt because apple and adobe are tight) my otherwise quiet fans start to make noise like a low flying jet engine. My PC tower hums a bit to begin with but doesn't get nearly that noisy unless I'm playing an actual game. Honestly I just wish the mac fanbase would stop trying to fit a square into a circular hole by saying "it's so great, why is nobody making software for it?". The real problem lies in that apple is EXTREMELY secretive about their hardware/software so that really closes doors on developers unless there's some SDK and licensing they're willing to pony up the cash for (and we're just the consumers, the cost to developers would be much greater because apple has to make money back somehow).

Macs themselves also need better airflow. I really worry when such an expensive thing gets that hot to the touch, knowing what can happen to gaming PCs under the same conditions. It's a big expensive problem waiting to happen. People like to think that it's as simple as a recode but it's not, they really need to examine the hardware to give the same gaming experience and just to prolong the life of the hardware.

Don't get me wrong here, macs are still relatively powerful machines, but they really shine as a tool for graphic design and animation (not so much 3D though, but that's improving), which is more of an industry thing. As someone who works in the graphic design/animation industry I can say it was more than worth the money for me to get a macbook pro, but if I'd wanted to get a laptop for gaming or even general school stuff I probably would've just got a PC. Too expensive for a word processor with a built in camera, music software and a video editing suite that I may or may not use.

Also why is every odd person writing MAC and SIMS all in caps? They are not acronyms.

lol, my Macbook Pro used to get like that... it got to the stage where it was always hot. So I sold it and bought a Macbook Air just last year... which doesn't have its nvidia graphics but it's still just as capable as the MBP of 2010 was.

I now rock a Macbook Air, a custom gaming pc with windows and OSX (Hackintosh) dual booting and i'm trialing a surface pro 3 at the moment to see how useful that can be.

I like MACs...it's just hard to find many programs that will work with em. I got rid of a MAC a few years ago just for the sheer limitations I had with gaming and general use. I guess I'm one of those spoiled windows chicks that likes being able to one and done it without jumping through hoops looking for programs that will run this and that...

I do hope programs in the future become more versatile.

Did you just called yourself dumb? Cause you just insult your own self by saying that statement. You think that Mac users are the dumbest people on the planet?

He is not calling himself dumb, he is being honest and not bias.

bootcamp cost money. I don't want to install a bootcamp just for me to play the sims on my MAC cause to me that is the cowards way out. Show how lazy EA is. Not caring for the MAC Users. The only way I'll buy Sims 4 for MAC now is if they make World Tool feature for MACs.
