So I've been getting pretty stoked about Civ V in the last few days. Between Ryan's words of addiction and seeing the new UI and game play footage. So I go to steam with the intention on buying my digital copy.
 
But apparently, no OSX version. 
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't all of the previous Civ games also available for the Mac?
 
I've played a fair amount of Civ IV since the OSX version was up on steam and have been really looking forward to giving the new game a shot. Any word on if it's going to come to OSX at all?

As a fellow Mac user I'm also disappointed in this, but I think that Civ IV's Mac port came out after the PC release. Could be a similar situation with Civ V?

If it is it'll probably be done by Aspyr, it took a year (I think) for the mac version to come out.

Don't get me wrong. but MACs are really not for gaming, the few times I tried I've never gotten a good gaming experience on a MAC, usually bad framerates.
 
I know it sounds ridiculous, but you can build a 500 bucks PC that runs games far better then most US$1000+ MAC models out there.

Maybe you can dual boot it.

Macs have been getting better as of late for gaming, give it a few years and i think macs will see more major releases.

  @Zidd:  No argument here.  And if it turns out to be another Steamplay thing like for Civ 4, even more worth the wait. 

I'm a mac user and I want to have fun, too!

I am disappointed they didn't make porting it more of a priority instead of just holding off until the PC version is out.  Undecided whether I'm going to try to get my terribly old PC running it, get a dual boot up and running, or just wait for it since there's enough console games and Starcraft 2 to be played. 
 
There are enough people out there that run macs as their primary work/home computers, so it does seem strange to see major releases that don't come out for both.

Its your own fault. If you want to play games you have to go the PC route. 
 
Even though there might be a Civ V released 2 years from now your overpriced and underpowered mac will probably not be able to run it properly.

The Civ IV mac port took nearly a year to come out. I use a macbook pro for my day to day use at work and home but I also have a gaming PC because you don't buy a mac for gaming and the few non-casual games that do come out for also run like shit compared to the Windows version on identical hardware (ie bootcamp). 

Apparently it is possible to play the PC version on a Mac (without bootcamp). Check out this thread (it's actually a sticky thread over at the official 2K Games forums):

I haven't confirmed this myself, though.
