According to Telltale Games' Emily Morganti, Sam & Max would love to find a home on Mac but porting the series proves to be a problem.

"Porting any of our other games to the Mac would have required starting again from scratch," Morganti told the BBPS when responding to Telltale's Mac absence since the release of Bone: Out of Boneville. Developer Vanbrio was brought on to port the Bone series to the Mac platform but found the process problematic because updating could not be done using Telltale's own development tools.

"I'm not going to say we'll never do Mac games," Morganti assured Mac fans. "We do want to get our games out on as many platforms as possible, but getting onto the consoles has been a bigger priority."

In the interview Morganti confirmed Sam & Max: Season 3 is set for release in early 2009, likely due to the developers current work on the PC/Wii episodic series, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.
