Why is Red Alert so much more expensive on mac than on Pc?

It was released more recently.
Extra man hours were needed to convert it.
Everything with an Apple logo on it is more expensive.
etc.

LoL why would you buy a Mac to play video games on? That's like shooting yourself in the face.

in order to see better

MAC's are a niche market. That is why expense reigns down upon those foolish enough to buy them...

Unless you need it for 'creative industry'. My g/f got one because all the architecture software is mac based.

Because its a smaller market than PC/Consoles. Got to make some money.

I agree with the last comment, but disagree that macs aren't any good. They are good for creative packages for music and media and haven't been designed for gaming in a big way. I run Red Alert 3 on pc.

Mac is a smaller market for games than pc, as has been stated.

Take into consideration what some types of packages require to run never mind doing what they were designed to do.
