                          This just blew my mind. Take for example Medieval II: Total war. 

Requirement for windows: 512 Mb RAM + 11 Gb free space on hard disk + 128 Mb GPU

Requirement for mac: 4 Gb RAM + **32** Gb of free space on hard disk + 256 / 512 MB GPU

How come the requirements are so much higher? In particular the size of the games, it's more than double the Windows version! What is going on?
