Mac Beta Released

But if you're speaking a foreign langauge, and no one corrects you, you would continue repeating that mistake, wouldn't you?

Some languages have a comparatively belligerent tone. For example, in Urdu, a verbatim translation of ''I disagree'' would be something like ''I spit on your argument!''

I'm not familiar with the body of Ark's communiqués, but what I've read has sounded reasonable enough, which is more than what I can say about some posters...

 

Let's drop it and stay on topic.

 

Right.

So, back on topic, then: I have nothing else to say, really, besides ''Please remain a wee bit more neutral on non-SC2 topics.''

It's your site, your call. You're the journalist. I only ever point out these sort of things when I feel you've left the boundaries of prudent neutrality and strolled into questionable territory. And to be fair on you, that's only happened twice that I can remember.

Other than that, keep up the good work.

 

I just pointed out what was wrong with facts. I did not make a personal attack on you as you have just done to me.

Here is a blizzard press release:
http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/company/press/pressreleases.html?070519
And a little quote from it:

It was the same for Diablo 2 and WC3 (both simultaneous release for Windows and Mac). SC1 was different cause back then the Mac version needed to be complaint with the Motorola PPC cpu's the Macs back then used. And that took more time.
If you don't like that, argue with Blizzard and not me.

Those are the facts .

 

You're really going to grab a press release from May 19, 2007 as your proof? That's three years ago. We've had multiple discussions with Blizzard about the Mac platform since then and in all those meetings we've never gotten a confirmation that Mac will be released simultaneously.

Now I have to find a quote proving otherwise.

 

Yes. I believe what Blizzard say about their own games.
Give me a quote from a blue post or a blizzard press release to prove things have changed since my quote and that'll do.
This not an arguement against you, more like we are both trying to get the most accurate information out to the SC2 fans.

 

I'm wrong:

Jon, just take a look at the CURRENT Collector's Edition description: http://us.starcraft2.com/features/collector/
It clearly shows "STARCRAFT II: WINGS OF LIBERTY PC/MAC GAME"
The Press Release also states "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will be available on DVD-ROM for Windows® XP/Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 and Macintosh®." You can take a look at it here: http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/press/pressreleases.html?100408
Both this links are official Blizzard posts, and both are less than a month old.
There is no doubt for me that it will be a simultaneous release.
