They released in on every major, mainstream platform (xbox, ps, even switch) but theyve never said anything about bringing it to osx.

Is it in some way more difficult, than those console ports Even with performance and visual cuts I would love to have it, right now Im away from home for whole summer and only have my laptop.

It would be really nice to at least be able to login and collect daily rewards - Ive already lost arround 80 of them, so thats pretty major.

And on top of that even play a mission or two, whenever theres gift of the lotus alert or some event, even though my laptop wouldnt have the best perfrormance.

Warframe Mac Does Not

At this point a Linux port would make more sense, since they want to do Stadia and thats based on Linux.

Also, you can try bootcamp and run Windows on your overpriced aluminium computer.

So it would be on the level of those console ports from the effort.

Nobody in their right mind buys a mac and expects to play games on it.

You usually know before that this wont happen and either have a useful computer in addition or a console.

Like everyone already said, theres just too few potential customers for Macs to make it worth their while.

Warframe Install Windows On

However you should be able to partition your laptop and install Windows on the partition if you really wanted to play on your laptop unless Apple removed that ability to dual boot.

OSX doesnt support DX11 which is what warframe runs on, it could also support OpenGL but I dont know if thats the case.

Warframe would have to port their game over, which can be a costly endeavor, with only a low pay out.

If theyre going to do any porting, its going to happen after their new engine is finished, which might support vulkan (or if youre unlucky dx12).

I know because I inhereted a mac and played every single game available for it during the golden age of Mac compatability.

That shift will happen, and Metal might give them a head start in preparing for it, or they might do both at once; Metal is also the new graphics API for the Mac; Theres a set of libraries that make running iOS apps natively on the Mac a piece of cake (under the hood, theyre more similar than different), so once the iOS port is done, the Macs almost a freebie.

Since FFXIV ported over to the Mac, Warframe is the last reason I have to keep my Windows partition.

My point is there is too much resources required in relation to the players that might use that platform.
