Firaxis Games has announced the release of a mac client for its title Civilization IV: Colonization, now available for download.
2K will implement online service changes for several legacy titles, including releases for Windows PC, as a result of GameSpy Technology terminating its online service offerings for video games.
Beginning May 31, 2014, select legacy titles from the Borderlands® and Civilization® catalogs will temporarily go offline while service is transitioned to Steamworks.

GameFront, "In an age when even old-school FPS gurus like iD’s John Carmack are defecting to consoles, you can still be sure of one thing: strategy gaming has ever been and will always be the province of PC’s. Whether it’s due to the more cerebral, measured gameplay, or — more likely — the crucial importance of mouse controls, the jump to other platforms is rarely successful. Despite their large market share and stable, unchanging hardware, consoles struggle to sustain a pure strategy game."
I pretty much clicked on this to ensure that Homeworld was included and sure enough it is. I approve.
I never played Homeworld but I'm gonna check it out.....maybe Good ol Games has it for dirt cheap!
Damn it I want to play Homeworld. Why hasn't Relic got it up on a digital distribution service like Steam?!
Better late then never I suppose. :P
Epic game and an epic expansion.
