The same package was released on 1 December 2011 for Western markets as Mafia II: Director's Cut on Windows, OS X and their respective budget labels on consoles.
This sentence combines separate releases into one date. December 1, 2011 was the Mac release from Feral Interactive; 2K had already announced the PS3/Xbox 360 budget editions in March 2011, with retailer rollout in April, and the PC Director’s Cut separately.
Full reasoning
This sentence incorrectly treats Windows, OS X, and the console budget editions as if they all launched together on December 1, 2011.
What the sources show instead:
- In a March 30, 2011 2K press release, 2K said Mafia II Greatest Hits (PS3) and Mafia II Platinum Hits (Xbox 360) were already available at select retailers and would reach additional retailers throughout April. The same release says Mafia II Director's Cut for PC would become available in the coming months.
- A separate November 17, 2011 announcement says Feral Interactive planned to release Mafia II: Director's Cut for Mac on December 1, 2011.
So December 1, 2011 matches the Mac release, not a single Western release date covering Windows, OS X, and console budget labels all at once.
