    We have preferences... you know, like races and classes. Macs are not made for gaming. You buy it knowing that. Therefore, if you try to make it work and it fails, don't blame the game.

    Unless it's unplayable, like currently. Then you complain. But if you buy a mac for gaming, you are buying the inferior system of the available systems.
    I think the real problem is just the method they used. Rather than creating a mac client, they used the windows client in a wrapper, and one that isn't working properly at the moment at that. Some macs have excellent hardware for gaming, and Apple is going to make it even better soon with metal in el capitan this fall. The one thing they can't do is convince devs to spend the extra cost for a proper mac client rather than a jury rigged hack of the Windows version at low cost.

    This is true. Programming, cost of porting, etc are really what make the Macs so much more "inferior" to PC for gaming.
