    I initially bought a macbook pro for school work. Since my macbook pro can play the game smoothly, I see no reason why I should buy another computer.

    But I pretty much was aware of the PC elitists who consider it taboo and mock anyone who will be playing a game on a mac no matter how smooth the game runs.

    ...or maybe it doesn't matter! Just because you're running the game on a different operating system doesn't make you special. People don't put Windows stickers all over their crap...only Apple customers. We get it, you bought a computer...

    You are missing the point of the thread. This ain't about me being special or not. And for your information, I am not using a different operating system to be playing this game. I am using Windows 7 through bootcamp on the macbook. This game will never work on OSX. Before you mock me, educate yourself first about how macs play games and then come talk to me.

    I don't understand why people get upset whenever anybody brings the subject of 'macs' with 'gaming'. As long as they work like a charm on macbooks, I don't see the big deal. But of course, since this forum is full of PC elitists, trolls and people who generally full of hate and like to put different people down, this topic will be getting a lot of negativity and mocking.

    Except the post itself makes it seem like you feel you're special. "Am I the only one who uses a Mac"? Is almost synonymous with I use a Mac for this game, i'm special, even if you didn't think that when you made the post. And I say, Macs ARE PCs, so you're actually just playing on an overpriced PC laptop.

    Thank you for being kind and understanding instead of jumping into negative conclusions.

    Doctor! You are not alone. I play on my iMac. It took some tweaking of the settings to get optimal resultsd due to the high resolution of the 27" iMac but runs smoothly once this was done. I have had zero issues with most games running high-ultra settings on my Mac in Bootcamp. Heck some of them even play fine using Parallels virtualization now that the new version allows 1GB of virtual video memory.

    It's the way the post title is worded. While he may or may not have had any intention of looking like he thinks he's special, the title can easily be construed as such. And many people put specs in their sigs so others know what hardware they have if they ask technical related questions.
