Team 17,
I've been a player of worms games for a long time and its been a massive source of entertainment for me and my friends.
I'm a mac user and haven't ever had an opportunity to by a windows and there for my gaming experience is really limited! So when i saw that i could get Worms: reloaded for mac i was literally wetting myself! I thought that i was going to have some much fun with my mates (who are all on windows) playing over the internet into the early hours of the morning. But... as you know and as i unfortunately found out after buying the game, customising my worms and trying to join my friends online game this game dose not support cross platform play...That was hard to take :(.
I've read around the forums and on the web and it sounds like you guys have no plans to make it a cross platform game, and i've also read of various complication :
quote from BillT17 (ex staff) " I remember hearing something about because it wasn't planned from the start of WR PC development we can't have the same product code for the game which makes life complicated for doing updates on both games at exactly the same time"
But can i please please please persuade you to make it cross platform, There are actually quite a lot of mac users that want this game to be cross platform and it would also benefit the windows players to have more people to play with.
I really can't stress enough how much it would mean to me and my friends if you guys at team17 modified Worms:Reloaded on steam to enable cross platform multiplayer. So please please don't just think ' its to complicated and we're focusing on other games' people still play this game!!!
That is all and if any Team17 staff see this Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Your massive fan
-Arthur
