A
Mac client for EA's digital distribution platform Origin was launched today, as
first noted by AppleInsider. Origin for Mac was originally announced in August
2011 and went into alpha testing in late January.
The
client looks almost identical to the Windows version and other than the
placement of the window buttons on top you can’t really tell them apart. The
big difference, however, comes in the selection of games that is currently
available. As you can imagine, very few titles are currently available on OS X,
with major ones being Batman: Arkham Asylum, DIRT 2, SIM series, and the Dragon
Age series.
How
quickly things will change on this front is hard to tell. Steam for OS X has
been out for a while now but the selection of games remains mediocre at best.
The Mac App Store doesn’t have much to offer either. With Apple continuing to
use below-par GPU in its range of Macs, the gaming situation on OS X doesn’t
seem like it’s going to change any time soon.
