I own an iMac and have updated to El Capitan. This release updated the gaming capabilities of macs after 2012 that update to the OS. In this version they added a new shader system called metal. This is essentially a better OpenGL with less overhang allowing direct gpu control. Currently majority of my graphics are either low, lowest, or off to get about 64 fps. i would like the game to be updated to this new system, obviously add it as a toggle option. I think it will be a very good idea to draw in more mac gamers.
It would bring in more because it would be performance wise better than it is now. Also Activision-Blizzard is updating WoW, Starcraft, and Heroes of the Storm to run on metal. this will provide your current major competitor’s games to run smoother. This is not a major deal with how low the Mac gaming scene is in population. I just think Guild wars 2 is a better and more fun alternative to their current titles.
What do you guys think any mac gamers here agree?
