StarCraft II Mac Client Beta Available

Posted by Soulskill on from the just-waiting-on-a-linux-client-right dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Blizzard has released the Mac client of the StarCraft II multiplayer beta. If you already have an invite for the PC beta, the Mac client is available under your Battle.net account." A recent patch also added a map editor to the StarCraft II beta, which has already led to some interesting projects.

    I've found that for pretty much any program with a Mac version, the Windows version works perfectly in Wine. I'm guessing it's a side effect of not being able to make Windows-specific assumptions.

    This is such a typical do nothing, patch nothing, PR-only marketing beta, NOT an actual beta test.

    Do you even understand what a beta is? It's a feature-complete build that has known issues. It's not a demo, nor a "You get to play for free" build. It's BETA. B-E-T-A. I.e., understood to be broken.

    Sheesh. Kids today.
