Title misleading?

"If we reach £1.4 million in funding through the Kickstarter project, we will release a Mac version of the game around 3 months after the initial Windows PC release."

£989,339 pledged of £1,250,000 goal

I suppose I should have used "Elite Dangerous to get Mac support within 3 months of PC launch if project funded and stretch goal met", but it wasn't very catchy!

"£500.000 Still Needed for Elite Dangerous for Mac"?

Horrendously misleading! I just flagged this post because of that. I almost pledged based on the title. Should have known better.

Please do pledge! I really want to play the game and having a Mac port would be even sweeter!

Currently it looks like they aren't going to reach their goal of £1.2 million (http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1461411552/elite-dangerous/). Maybe they are trying to get the mac crowd on board in order to push it over the line?

There is always a last minute surge at the end which this doesn't take into account http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showpost.php?p=29887&postco...

If I have to fire up a Windows 7 VM to play Elite: Dangerous, I will, but certainly, I'd be even happier with a native version.

The project's funding trend has nosed upwards lately, despite Christmas, so perhaps word will circulate regarding the possibility of Mac support, as well as the newer pledge levels, if people feel inclined to nudge their existing pledges upward.

Not pledging anything 'till there's a Linux version - I mean, FFS, loads of people are making Linux versions of stuff now, it can't be that hard unless they use DirectX or something silly.
