Cool how it's universal across iOS and Mac, but still a bit sucky how it's App Store exclusive. I wonder if they'll end up on Steam eventually.

Wouldn't hold your breath. I bought Resident Evil Village on Steam, only for it later to turn up in the App Store, and the Steam version doesn't include the Mac version. I expect the same thing will happen here, which means it was probably a good idea not to buy it on Steam when it was on special recently.

For a lot of games, Steam lets you download the Windows and/or Mac version, where available, but it looks like Resident Evil isn't working that way. For instance, I have a couple of the recent Tomb Raiders[ that are cross-platform from Steam, and Return to Monkey Island.

I also picked up the original version of RE4 a while back when it was on special for about A$5, but I find that unplayable. It has controller support, but it doesn't really work very well, and keyboard and mouse is just awkward to use. At least the RE2 and RE3 re-releases fixed a lot of the UI problems, so I expect RE4 to do the same.

I'm still somewhat skeptical that mainstream AAA gamers will spend $60 to play this on a phone screen. A Mac or an iPad I could see, but a phone? Even one as fast as the 15? Not so sure.

Won't mind being wrong though. It might encourage Apple to pay more attention to AA and AAA gaming in the future.
