It appears there will be no cross-platform support for multiplayer?

I think you may be surprised about the amount of people running games on a bootcamped Mac...

Bootcamped mac = Windows = Same platform as the most of us

I figured it from "Company of Heroes 2 coming August 27 with Mac v Mac and Linux v Linux multiplayer"

Also they confirmed it:

"When cross-platform play is possible we support it but Company of Heroes 2 isn’t designed for cross-platform play."

Prepare for our Steam Group to go red with Mac v Mac and Linux v Linux warfare.

no cross play? what is with these people? One step forward, twenty back, don't change Relic.

They blame Sega for their woes and used to blame THQ in the past whereas I can only see one common denominator.

Here's an explanation why there's no cross-platform multiplayer:

Too difficult and not enough money nor time.

How depressing is it that the team doing the port gives us a better insight of how the game works than anyone from Relic HQ could ever give.

Appreciate a straight answer for a change though.
