OS X League of Legends Ending Tonight

[Sep 06, 2011, 8:44 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

An announcement on the League of Legends Forums (thanks Kotaku) announces that Riot Games is abandoning the OS X beta of League of Legends as of midnight tonight. The announcement requires registration, but it is also reproduced on reddit, so here's word on their hopes to resume Mac support in the future, and an offer of refunds in the meantime:

We realize our current approach regarding the Mac platform won't guarantee the quality and frequent updates we deliver today on the PC and are expected by our player community. We will continue to investigate the opportunity to provide player access on the Mac Platform in the future that aligns with our service and content update standards. We are committed to building a solution that will work on the Mac in the long run, but it will take some time. Additionally, testers that have utilized the League of Legends store during the Beta can either continue playing the PC version of the game, or receive a full refund on RP purchases made (which would close out the account).

I've had a Mac for 4 years and I've NEVER bought a game for it. I game on my Windows machine, period. Jobs/Apple did a real good job of making it clear that they did not want the gaming market on that platform... and it looks like the only mass amount of games that will ever be on that platform, will be iPad games under emulation or something. As for the retard bitching about the 1-button mouse... they haven't been 1-button for years. The just "look" like they're 1-button.... the mighty mouse is 4-button, and the magic mouse is a 2-button + trackpad. OSX defaults to treating the 2-button area as 1, but the first thing most windows users (including myself) change, is that setting.
