After switching to Mac last year - i fired up Origin and Mac recently.

My Origin Library - 2 games playable out of 20 - 10%.



My Steam Library 137 games playable out of 300 45.6%

PC games on Mac.. therein lies the problem surely.

Steam obviously have some kind of middle ware product making a majority of their games playable.

They launched the Mac version of origin over a year ago but really other than the Sims and Sim City and the expansion packs there is still very little that is converted, its a poor show really.

Surely that's down to the game developers. This is why I'm guessing that Steam must have an extra layer for compatibility. I'm only guessing though because it wouldn't make sense for the game not to work on Origin..??

I think the point really is why bother to have a Mac version of origin for a handful of games, they made you download it solely for playing Sim City, but EA have not had any other games released on the system I think other than Rayman Origins since then.

Waste of everyone's time.
