About Ric Molina (and how it all started)
Ric Molina – Editor-in-chief
I’m a regular guy in my early thirties who decided to get his first Mac a few years ago. Like many, I grew up playing video games (Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye and Starcraft, I will always remember you) and was bummed to hear it would be difficult on a Mac.
My friends told me it was a stupid move and wished me good luck playing Spore on my overpriced machine… But I was loving everything about my new Mac and knew I could never go back. After some research, I was ecstatic to find Dragon Age: Origins, my first step into gaming on a Mac.
I also realized it was a pain to find good Mac games. Not because they were rare, but because no one ever talked about them. I knew there had to be others like me and that’s when I created Mac Gamer HQ in October 2012, a blog I run from Lyon in France.
I’ve been covering Mac gaming for the last 6 years and our work has been recognized and featured by some of the biggest tech outlets in the world, such as TechCrunch, Apple Insider, The Loop, Mac Rumors, iMore, Cult Of Mac, 9to5Mac and more. I also run a blog called Blueberries.gg where I cover Destiny 2 stuff, such as the new Sundered Doctrine Loot table.
A dedicated team of testers
We also have the privilege of counting on several die-hard Mac users who help tests and benchmark a bunch of games. This is why Mac Gamer HQ can test games on so many different Mac models and if you’re a developer looking for help with your Mac port, you know where to find us!
Most of our Performance Reviews wouldn’t be possible without the help of Chris Tallant, James Sandells, Ed Sakabu, Pavel Shpilev, Andrew Keesey, Farlin Paulino, and ikir. Thanks a lot guys!
A growing movement that isn’t going anywhere
As you may have heard, it’s becoming harder to survive online. There’s a reason why all Mac gaming sites have eventually died…
But my mission is to make Mac Gamer HQ the exception. To make it bigger than myself and make sure it will be here for you for as long as you’ll need it. And so far, Mac Gamer HQ continues to grow.
An amazing community
Mac Gamer HQ continues to thrive thanks to you, our readers. Know that I read every email that is directed my way (you can reach out to me here) and many times it was your emails telling me you enjoy the site that helped me keep going when things were tough…
Anyway, next time you feel like the only person on earth trying to play a new game on your Mac (as I often did when I got started), remember you’re not alone…
