Aspyr have not just lost the plot in this one, but also the study notes, film adaptation, academic analyses and one wonders what has gone wrong...well when this game doesn't sell on the mac perhaps the morons (executives) will sit round a table and wonder themselves.
Let's be realistic here. The people at Aspyr are not morons - far from it. And if you go back and read Brad's previous comments, there appeared to me to be a tone suggesting he was hopeful the sysreqs could turn out significantly lower.
My personal speculation is that the project was started in the hope that the sysreqs could be gotten significantly lower, thereby increasing the potential market. Once it became clear that this wasn't going to be possible, the project was almost done anyway, so they went ahead and released it.
But if you think the folks at Aspyr either don't fully understand the implications of these sysreqs
or that they're happy about it, you're so completely off base that you're not only out of the ballpark, you're entirely off the
planet.
Let's
also keep in mind that, overall, these sysreqs aren't all
that high. They're high for a TBS specifically, sure. But they're well in line with other big new titles. (CoD2, for example.)
