An IMG reader recently informed us of a Reddit Ask Me Anything session with Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley. During the discussion of development on PlanetSide 2, Smedley revealed that the FPS MMO sequel will be coming to Macs sometime after the launch of the PC version.
RadioActiveLobster: You seem to share a view with other Industry Veterans (GabeN, Blizzard, Notch) that Windows8 is not going to be a good thing for the PC Gaming World.What are some of the specific reasons and what should M$ be doing to improve PC Gaming instead of seemingly actively trying to destroy it. Are we going to see Planetside 2 Linux at some point if M$ doesn't get their act together
smedley: I absolutely strongly share that view. No you aren't going to see PS2 on Linux. You will see it on Mac though.
Zweihanders: at Launch or later on for Mac?
smedley: later to my great sadness. hopefully not too much later. I love my iMac and my Retina MBP
