Wow, N3mb3r, that is really...lame of EA, and calling them "lame" is being way too kind. Also, why would EA have to rebuild the tool from scratch? The game runs through Cider; there's no Mac—native code involved. What would prevent EA from running CAW through Cider as well; I smell a rat.
I hope that they really haven't abandoned CAW for out platform. Would EA really choose to alienate the people that purchase their product just because it isn't convenient for them? I'm still sort of mad about Apartment Life never getting ported over by Aspyr before The Sims 3 came out. *sighs*
Signed!! I may not be a Mac user but I think it is unfair that Mac users get forgotten when it comes to gaming (even though it has got a lot better for Mac users in the past few years)
Just in case anyone is actually reading any of the posts, I recommend getting hold of Apple and letting them know that they need to support the Net Framework that is required to run C-A-W.
It's pretty unlikely EA will ever create this for Mac, but if the framework to use it existed in that environment there might be a slightly higher chance.

Apple don't need to do this because Macs have the ability to run Windows - you just need to buy a copy of XP/Vista/7 etc.
I don't think EA will ever release it for Macs either which is a real shame but it's not impossible for us Mac users to use CAW.

Ive been waiting for for CAW Beta tool forever! But it never came out on mac and it doesn't look like its planning too.
We want to make worlds to!
Whilst I don't have a mac atm I really want one and would want to use caw on it!
