Macintosh Battle.Net client could come this April photo

It's no secret that Blizzard hopes to support the Cupertino crowd with its revision of the Battle.Net service. But when exactly the developed planned to open up a beta of that version of the service was unknown -- until recently, that is.

In an official Twitter Q&A, Blizzard confirmed that it was working on a beta for the Mac version of Battle.Net. Even better, the studio said it has "hopes" to launch that beta "sometime in April," a month that sits in fairly soon territory. We'll take Blizzard's parting advice, "Hang in there," on this one instead of going on and on about how awesome it would be to play SC II on our beautiful metal babies.

[Thanks, everyone!]

Good thing Windows runs on a Mac, meaning if you're not a complete retard you could already be in the beta now, even if you don't have a PC (provided you got an invite that is)

Brad, that's a Mac Starcraft II client. Battle.net has no client, its integrated into their games.

Great to see companies like Blizzard and Valve really opening up to the Mac. Where they tread, others will follow and hopefully more companies will bring their games to the computer I blew all my money on.

If you need your mac for work then you shouldn't compromise the stability of the system by putting windows on it.
