    Did I read in this thread that a Mac is a status symbol? For whom?!

    On topic though, the whole "wise business" decision will have very little to do with satisfying the personal whims of current players and more to do with how many new subscribers$$$ a mac version will bring in. At the risk of sounding pessimistic, I predict: not enough.

    If you can spend $1600 on a laptop to browse Facebook, you can buy a killer gaming desktop or laptop for the same price.

    No! The whole lot of you are operating on misconceptions about Macs and OSX. OSX is a platform, a tool, just like Windows. Whatever you can do in Windows, you can do in OSX.

    Really? How goes all that gaming? Oh wait... you have to install Windows to do that on your Mac. Or just deal with slim pickings.

    Try to act mature on the forums please. OS X is just an operating system, take a look at the business world, a lot of companies use Apple computers.

    Exactly, dear.
    I had to blow 150$ on an extra license for Windows just to play FFXIV on my primary laptop. Before you tear into it because "Maclol", bear in mind I use it for Aperture, Logic/ProTools, Resolve, and FCPX. Windows doesn't do all that. Hence the need foe dual boot.
    That's a barrier.
    The less of those, the more people play.
    You're a smart person. You know the more people playing XIV, the better it does.
    Especially if they're already this close, seems a short leap to make it a reality.

    Yes and no. You can get the Mac OS to do anything a Windows OS can. Whether or not it's just as easy is another thing altogether. Though Apple made things a lot easier when they ditched the PPC architecture.

    Having an opinion does not make you right or wrong, it simply means you have an opinion. Don't get irritated when people don't agree.

    You don't play a lot of computer games at work, or do anything else outside of work for that matter, well, you're not supposed to anyway. XD actually I think saying "alot" is going a bit too far, considering 99.9% use windows, unless you have a time machine and this is 1985.
