What is more tight lip then Steve Jobs, ever tried to ask someone at Aspyr Media about an upcoming game.

Back in the good old days you could go to the Aspyr website and it was all there. If you went to the lets say, look for the Sims. You were directed to a mini-site, where you could see more info on the game. Already own the game, just a click on the support tab a there was a list of the updates and add-ons you can download. Back on the main Aspyr webpage was a link to those games in development. Now it seems Aspyr has become like, well Apple. Their new motto should be: We will tell you when we want you know. What happened to build up?
After EA came out with The Sims Life Stories this story appeared on the Inside Mac games website:

The PC version of The Sims Life Stories hit store shelves last Friday and brought with it official confirmation of an upcoming Mac version. In the press release dealing with the PC version Electronic Arts announced that Life Stories for Mac is "coming soon." Developed by Aspyr Media, the game introduces a unique storyline complete with romance, dramatic twists, and unlockable content.

But as of this writing (3/4/07) there is no mention of the game it on the Aspyr website. So what is the big secret? EA has already let the cat out of the bag, but when I wrote them the only answer I got was “ we don’t comment on products yet to be announced”. This is not CIA work, this is a porting of a game that is out for PC. What is the big deal? Even Apple Inc. it’s self has been pushing MacOS 10.5 for a year, and look at the buzz around that. But ask Aspyr if, the seasons pack is coming to The Sims and Aspyr acts as if you want them to give away a trade secret.

A question asked on Inside Mac Games:

With Seasons on the way to PC. My question is this going one of those that don't make it to Macintosh?
This seems like a major expansion pack, not one of those mini-packs.
So what do you think the chances of this one making it to us.

Aspyr Answer was:
There will be more Sims stuff for the Mac in 2007 than any previous year, so don't worry, there will be lots of new things to play with

What does that mean?
1. With 3 different Life Stories
2. Season add- on pack out for PC and I am guessing another in the works
3. 3 mini-packs still not out for Macintosh and another on the way for PC.

A better question is what is not coming to Macintosh? I am guessing 80% of the above list.

The answer may be with boot camp from Apple becoming more and more stable the next game I buy for my Macintosh may just be a PC version.
