Same reason why FinalCut Pro doesn't work on Windows. It just doesn't work. |

Mac and windows are two different OS's (operating systems) therefore they read different codes. Same with final cut, its coded for mac not windows.
And roblox is only coded for windows. Its not on linux, gaming systems, mac, or ROM |

They're working on it. ROBLOX is a Windows program (This is WAY over-suggested). |

Oh, and they didn't make it for mac YET is because most people don't own macs, too expensive and harder to code. It would take years to perfect roblox's updates and translate them to MAC ROM coding. |

Tonga, they spew out info about future updates on obc cast but I don't think there making it for mac. Translating game code to a universal roblox encyption between mac and windows at the same time.. not so easy |

They should make it work on Mac. Because i'm getting a mac soon and i want to be able to play it. The Roblox staff might make it Mac. We will wait and see |

Cross-platform gaming is so awesome.
Valve managed to do it with Steam and their games, but the Valve is a major game company with a much bigger budget and greater experience. It's not as simple as pressing a button. |

I have a solution! DON'T BUY MACS! PC is better, because if you anger a PC, then they shout 'HAAAAAAX!'. Then a computer comes flying at you, out of nowhere. But, if you MUST INSIST on buying a Mac computer, PUT FUDGE-BUBBLING WINDOWS ON IT! THEN YOU CAN PLAY ROBLOX ON A MAC! Problem solved! |

@Krazy
Normally cross-platforming is so awesome is because instead of just coding awesomeness features and nice gameplay for one, theyre like.. wait, but what about ____? So yeah, they do there best. UNLIKE ROBLOX
@Morgan
Uhh.. First off, PC means personal computer.. it's not a brand, and second, do you even know what ROM's, CPU's, and Kernal's are? Dosn't work like that! People buy mac for the hardware, it's second best to date(Alienware is best).
What your suggesting is switch out the parts for a downgraded computer, and it'll have to be every single part cuz each one is coded differently. |

no dr. hax at all?
ok roblox for mac... i once wasn't able to play roblox in school at all (normally i can, believe it or not) because i had to do everything on mac. it caused wallpain to my head (as i hit it repeately to walls). o i kinda support but it makes much work for roblox staff... |
|
|
if they did u guys would have roblox from 2008 literally it would have 2 year old gears saying updated 1 day ago |
|
|
cause the updates they made r so extreme its harder to code into a mack |

Mac's and PC's have different operating systems therefore they have different codes, that's why it is not on mac. |

@Dhr
If they are, this is how they have to do it.
Recode roblox COMPLETLEY into it's own unique gamecode.
Make both mac, linux, and windows translate and write that gamecode for their Operating System, going through the recoded robloxian servers making a uni-code game. Let me put this in short..
Roblox is gonna have hella coding to do.
Rofl, they think adding new colours to bricks is harder than making catalog items.. so good luck with the coding. |

@Jay - Yes, I know what kernels and ROM and RAM and CPUs are! ROM = Read-only memory, like on most CDs, RAM = Random Access Memory, it gets wiped when you turn your computer off, CPU = Central Processing Unit, it's like the brain of the computer, and the kernel is the very center of the Operating System! And, I meant with a thing that lets you install Windows on a Mac without swapping all the components out!
@Jay's second post - Well, they SHOULD give ROBLOX it's completely own unique game code! I have an even better idea! Recode ROBLOX into the Source engine! I would like that... |

@Space
Mac pwns your computer. Why? Lets see..
It's faster.
It has more and better programs.
It's for people that are wealthy.
It's next generation technology.
It's best besides AlienWare
It has some of the best hardware and software.
Just some reasons.
@Other dude
If roblox is open source, then people could mod the game and hack wayy too easy |

@xJayZx there are so many things wrong with that post:
1. Mac's aren't neccesarily faster, my PC running windows outruns the average Mac
2. Windows has more programs, better is an opinion
3. My PC running Windows costs more than most Mac's
4. Microsoft and Apple are on the same level of technology
5. If I want to upgrade my PC running Windows I have to get an Alienware
6. My PC running Windows has some of the best hardware and sofrware |

You can take a download that lets PC programs work on your mac, it's about 10-20 bucks depending on where you live. |
