    Not in the near/medium future.

    The same reason why Oculus Rift isn't coming to mac.

    Just because it was said to not be mentioned, I am mentioning the grammar, the macbook 13" keyboard uses the exact same keyspacing as any fullsize keyboard, nor was the grammar any worse than it usually is (which is to say trollworthingly terrible).



    Torque 3d runs on DirectX, a technology which does not exist on macs. Plus the highest end macs are just not high end enough anyway.

    It doesn't justify spending our resources with only how much? 5, 10% of the mac being able to play the game.

    I have to disagree the macs are not powerful enough... well at least some...
    I am currently on a mac pro (mid 2012) and running beamng drive (in windows using boot camp) at medium to low settings. I get an average of 30 fps and it runs pretty smoothly unless there is a very large map.
    I think that beamng drive could run on a mac but there may be errors when trying to get the game engine to work
