Please show some maturity by not starting a pointless platform war or reply with "lol, buy a pc".
Any input from CCP on this? Even if Cider keeps working for the coming month's, me and my AMD card are going to be even more punished now like the 2 year medium shader clamp?

Please show some maturity and buy a PC if you want to game properly....clearly you have the money to do so and it would be ignorant to not understand that choosing a Mac is choosing a lesser gaming experience.

I thought most people that buy a mac, end up dual booting windows on it anyway? It is after all only a PC, that Apple laughingly charge the gullible more for.
I do love to join in the laughter though, so thanks for that.

I feel for you MAC guys, I've been in the same boat. I'm still smarting over the fact that I bought all those BetaMax tapes and got tired of all the "get VHS" hippes that didn't know good quality when they saw it! |

Can't you use bootcamp to boot into Windows and play from there? I thought that was a thing most Mac users did nowadays.
Next you will be complaining about the lack of Linux support. |

If it helps even a bit, if your computer can-¦t run EvE, there is a pretty high chance it can-¦t run other (new space/mmo) games either, well at least well...
Only option is to upgrade when it stops to work, unfortunately.
Maybe you could get some money back in exchange for newer PC laptop/desktop (lot cheaper than new Mac-¦s). |

I mean to be fair Macs are still a superior platform for many professional users. Just not at all for gaming. |

superior in which way? only difference between a pc and mac is operating systems and some software only available on each platform. dont get me wrong i think macs are good i just feel pc's are much more flexible and cheaper to maintain i see no real disadvantage switching to pc from mac, i switched because i wanted to game and a gaming machine was cheaper than a mac alternative

Just FYI - Cider is just pretty wrapper for bog standard WINE. And WINE works perfectly fine with EVE client although with some performance drop. So maybe you could, I dunno, just install WINE from homebrew or Macports or whatever and use that along with the Windows client? Chances are it will actually work better than the official version since that is using ancient build of WINE. |

The laserdisc version of "Wrath of Khan" has the most echos on Kirks scream of "Khan" out of any of the commercially released versions. True story. |

This is bs, mac users have no excuse to complain about EVE. If your unsatisfied with how it runs in OSX, use bootcamp and install windows, then run the standard EVE pc client.
My Mac Pro runs Windows 8.1 Pro perfectly, and games just fine in windows when I'm not booted into OSX. The older tower version of the Mac Pro can have up to 12 cpu cores, 128gig ram, and any vid card you want up to and including a Titan X.
So, if Mac OSX isnt fast enough in games for you, just install Windows using bootcamp and dual boot into it. Problem Solved.
Apple MacPro dual 6-core Xeon 3.06ghz, 32gig ecc ram, SSD, 4x HD, EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition.
Running OS X Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro.

I have a Mac. Macs suck at gaming, yes. But for productivity, nothing beats them. I have yet to see a version of windows that LOOKS LIKE NOONE PUKED ON IT. And that's why I use Macs. o7 |

Although its true that Macs have 10% of the market, it can be clearly seen, from most of the replies in this thread, that it is the top 10%.
Also, my Mac uses an NVIDIA card.
Also, there are many ways to get Eve on a Mac. If needed, CCP will swap to some other method.
Also, there is nothing in that article to suggest that Cider will stop supporting all Macs. Why would they take a small market and make it smaller?

HAH, i'll see you vinyl LPs and cassette tapes (i still have some too, tried to be a DJ in college and ended up doing nothing more than scathing up all my dad's old records), and raise you THIS MARVEL OF TECHNOLOGY that I still have because I restored my parents '79 Cadillac and it has a player . I got Kool and the Gang's "Ladies night" album on one of the two 8 tracks that work, and the other has 1970s TV shows theme songs like Starsky and Hutch lol.
All i need is an 8-track to Ipod adapter (probably be backpack sized) for when i go jogging
