    Hey there, @Raaecl. Right now, only the PC version of ESO is available on Steam, but we're certainly looking to bring the Mac OS X version to Steam as well. We'll be sure to provide an update as soon as we have more details. Thanks for your understanding!

    Less than 3% of personal computers run on Apple operating system. Not worth the time and effort to program both ways.
    If I wanted a Signature I would have a Signature --- but i don't want one so I don't have one.

    In terms of total use, its actually closer to 8%. If you consider market share, it's almost 30%.

    For an MMO, getting the widest audience possible is the foremost goal. Developing for OSX, in this case, is a no brainer.

    Quote your source, sir. I believe your numbers are a bit off. And if you post a Wikipedia site, I will not take you seriously ;)

    According to Wikipedia: The Macs make up 7.4% in terms of sales BUT makes up 16.8% of all web usage, which is what we should be looking at here. (Windows- 61%). It is a significant amount (If it was less than 3% they wouldnt have made a mac version now would they?). Since they already have the actual Mac version, I really doubt its gonna take much work into putting that version on steam. So it is worth the time and effort cuz it could theoretically increase their steam sales by 20%.

    Translation = " Mac users view twice as much internet p-o-r-n as Windows users as a percentage of actual units sold."

    It's a little fuzzy, but ... I think I drank so much I couldn't pay my tab. If I'm remembering it right, I said something like, "This crappy quartz thing thing should cover it, catman!" -- Rollin
