I followed the "Spore - for Mac" (or however it was worded) link on the EA website, hit the Preorder button and gave them money. At no point did it say "PC-only" - I assumed (incorrectly) that it was either for both, or that it would provide an option to download my selected platform when it was available. The "Spore for Mac" link to the store was misleading. Since I wrote the post, they've emailed me to offer a refund, after I sent a pretty clear, terse, but still polite (well, not rude, anyway) email outlining what the problem is. Yeah.

I imagine they have the full version, too. (And yes, the Mac needs to have compatible buy and download software services. I love and have written about Valve's Steam system on my blog) I didn’t think the pre download or soft download was available for Mac at all…I ended up buying the creature creator at EB Games for $10 a while back … I imagine they have the full version, too.
