[QUOTE="rivalschools, post: 15182, member: 680"] I'm not happy about it either, but those are Apple's App Store rules, not Farsight's. It's really sad for developers like Farsight that this boneheaded 'forced' upgrade path deemed necessary by Apple means I can no longer support them. That an app that's essentially a grown up iPhone/Pad app can't run on a 12-core machine because of an arbitrary software "hook" is ludicrous. The only reason this exists is to force Lion adoption. If Apple could get the myriad of performance/stability/external hardware/multiple display/multiple file issues that Lion has brought to the table (and aren't likely to be fixed in ML), lots of us would gladly upgrade, though I realize we're in the minority. However, every other piece of software I have outside the App Store garden (this is the only one) updates or works with DLC just fine, even with Mountain Lion on the horizon, and that's not about to change. We have 20 Mac Pros in the agency I work for. We handle multi-million dollar clients, so a volume license or $29 a seat isn't exactly a big deal, but when time is money/stability is paramount, Lion simply does not cut it. I use my home machine for a lot of heavy lifting, and sorry, a $10 pinball app kinda takes a back seat to "what I need my computer to do." [/QUOTE]
