Sigh. PC game. I'm not sure how long it's been since I've even seen a PC. I suppose I could kick in some money and hope it works under Virtualbox.

"PC" these days is often a general name for "desktop or laptop computer" - it doesn't mean it won't have a mac version.

In the FAQ, they mention additional release platforms would be one of the first things they would add should they raise enough money.

I think chances are good then since they've quite surpassed their initial goal!

I think you're confused sir. The Apple ads told us that PCs are old and unfashionable. PC's are about personal computing, not lifestyle like Macs are. Macs can't be PCs.

The gaming audience on windows is still far bigger than osx.

Read the FAQ first. In there they state that their top-of-the-list priority if they exceed the initial 400 000 dollar is supporting other platforms.

Maybe in a couple of years somebody will talk them into adding it to a Humble Bundle. I donated, on the off chance of it someday running on a platform I own, because hey, at least I can get a neat game soundtrack and documentary.

On the kickstarter page, when Tim talks about what they're going to do with the extra money they've gotten he say:

"Additional money means it can appear on more platforms, be translated into more languages, have more music and voice..."

So if money keeps rolling in like it has, chances are good they'll have the cash to make the game multi platform.
