Got an email from apple earlier;

The Messages Beta program for Lion will end on Friday, December 14, 2012. We hope you've enjoyed the opportunity to preview Messages.

If you'd like to continue using Messages, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. Messages is one of many great new apps and features built right into OS X Mountain Lion. Learn More.

Thank you for your participation in the Messages Beta program.

Quite disappointed that they are making it mountain lion only really. Might have a read up and see if it's client side that does the checking and if so see if I can change to 2020 or something.

Ah well, typical apple.

I also don't see why Messages has to ML only, Apple could of easily rolled out an iCloud upgrade to literally any version of OSX and included messages. Or allowed people to get it from the app store for ?0.99 (like facetime for Snow Leopard)

They want people to upgrade. It's like Microsoft making people update to Windows 8 to update their Direct X. (I know it's a different level of comparing subjects, but overall is the same foundation of making users have the newest software (OS) available).

When the preview was out on Lion , Apple made it amply clear that it will be available on Lion for a limited period only.

Yeah they did, I remember some website decompiled it and it said it'd be ending in july, when it didn't end I was happy thinking they've chosen not to be ***** and allow it to work on lion but guess I was wrong...

Being honest I'm kinda glad in a way it's ended, now I can get rid of the POS macbook I've got as it no longer serves any purpose at all! Got a 10.8 hackintosh vm that works for messages so I'll just be using that, apple's done me a favour.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
