Not relating to Rocket Science Co
I have a new MacBook and I purchased SR2 from the App Store, and installed it on my iPad and MacBook.
However, the performance on the App Store version of SR2 running the M1 series chips of Macs are not that great. So if want better performance and better optimisation and support, do I need to download the Steam version and pay again?
@YaMomzBox420, I understand the current situation I am in and the developers as well. But can't they just release a Mac version of SR2 on the Mac App Store (copy, paste from Steam to the Mac App Store).
@RocketScienceCo possibly, but the iOS and Android versions(mobile only) are specifically optimized for mobile devices to allow anyone to play with any device. A PC can run the same app with no problems, but it can't exceed the performance usage of a smartphone or tablet even if your computerhas plenty of CPU/RAM/GPU to spare. Short of making a third version that's both mobile and PC compatible with a bunch of extra code to tell what kind of device and it's capabilities, the devs can't really change that until device capabilities improve enough to handle better graphics, etc.
@YaMomzBox420. Thanks for your input. They might optimise it when the Career mode update comes out.
Yes. The app store version is optimized for mobile and will work on most computers, but the performance is limited to what mobile devices can support. You need the steam version to run at it's full potential
@RocketScienceCo not exactly. There's legal reasons why it has to be the way it is. The apple and Android app stores are very specific with their terms and conditions, which is why certain features like mods are unavailable without the steam version. I just don't think Jundroo could convince those companies to change or bend the rules of their app stores just for a single game. And you can't just copy/paste the files off of steam since they add their own files to the game(the steam launcher), so the devs would get sued for copyright with their own game. Of course, the devs could easily upload their source code to any other app/game store, but none are as popular or easy to use as steam, iOS, and Android app stores, plus they all have different rules etc.
I get what you're saying and it would be cool, but there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff that makes it hard to change anything
