ARR/Heavensward for Mac

Wow..that. That's kinda shitty. And I'm over here laughing at all the rage but that, even to me, is just kind of pushing it...

Look at it like this. Say you bought a record on vinyl. do that mean the record company owes you a 8 track, cassette, CD and digital download of the same record.

Feel privileged (the mac users not rankina) they didn't price it at Apple prices you guys are use too. unless you want to pay $300 for the client to feel hip.

It's not really a concern over pc/ps4. I get it. Sony is screwing everyone around and SE doesn't want to play dirty like they did in XI and allow someone to upgrade an expansion without having to buy it on both platforms.

The bigger issue is they want 59.99 for a bloody mac emulator. Blizzard doesn't do this at all and if you buy a game on PC you can play it on OSX.

it isn't an emulator, it's a library wrapper(think Java or GTK+) built off of wine, simply put it lets the game see its native platform information while translating to the native OS. seems like what an emulator does but it isn't. it will perform a lot faster than an emulator could. it might even perform as fast as native windows depending on how well they tweaked it.
I still think this is lazy of them but it isn't an emulator

Yeah I've developed with it before. It comes "close" but each game is different. I will not however spend $60 to find out and probably stick with bootcamp. Brining me back to 4 copies of expansion vs 6...

GuildWars2 works with the same company.

you might be able to get the game working with wine, I know wine works with the macos. dunno how much trouble you need to go through to get wine working though.

Do we know 100% for sure it will be a wine wrapped program? I haven't been able to find 100% confirmation from SE on this myself. Really looking for some clarification.

if they used transgaming cider it is wine with heavy tweaking. but to be fair I know little about this only what people have said in this thread.
some confirmation as to whether it is infact transgaming cider that was used for the macos version or if it is infact a full port would be nice.
