In patch 2.2 there releasing an ingame recorder for macs. Why only add this feature to be usable for mac recording only ? Isn't there a way blizz could add the same ingame recording feature for windows ?

We added it for Mac first since Mac didn't quite have the same availability of third party programs that PC users have. A PC compatible implementation is a possible consideration for the future.

As has been said in this thread already, as well as the other threads...

Windows Users have Frapps currently to record in game videos
Mac Users have Nothing.

Since there is already an outlet for windows users, blizzard was only hearing cries from mac users that they have no options for recording. Now that mac users are getting it, windows users are crying fowl as if they have no options and blizz is only doing it because they are mac lovers.

[edit] just saw Neth's post confirming this.


I like you. Do you like me? Can we be friends? :)

Honestly, being fanboy obsessed with either platform seems kind of silly at this point. Use what you want, who cares what someone else uses.


I like you too.

I would hope more people would take this to heart. These sorts of conversations can get very old very quickly. I'd like to ask that people please refrain from continuing the us vs them tone of conversation going on here.

It was a simple question that had a simple answer for why we did what we did. We're trying to make sure that we are as accessible as possible to everyone we have playing and that means for both Mac and PC users. We're all one big happy family here so make nice with each other or you're not getting any pie for dessert.
