Does Anyone know why Maxis pulled the downloads for Simcity 3000, or is it just bad support by them and when are we as Macintosh users going to get together as a group and demand that if these software Co. are going to put out a product they support it just as well as a PC/wintel they they put out.

Maxis probably pulled the free downloads so that they can influence more customers to buy the upgrade SIMCITY 3000 UNLIMITED. Haven't seen any notes about this one coming to the Mac...

Then that doesn't make sense... pulling the free downloads for reasons of a pending release of software that might not even be released for our platform?

I would imagine that is the case though... most upgrades/expansion packs for Sim games *so* eventually make it to the mac... it's just a matter of time...

This is what i am talking about Apple Ships 5 Millinon iMac's and EA seems to feel that they can take our money and not give us support. At 50$ a pop I want the same support as PC Users get.
