SE,we Mac users do not deserve this third class treatment!

[MugenMugetsu]

I'm not a Mac owner, nor am I fan of Apple's price gouging, however I don't understand why so many people are giving mac users such a hard time when the issues lie in the fact that the 3rd party company that was outsourced to develop/port the game to run on Macs did a crappy job. This is something that needs to be addressed ASAP. Please stop claiming PC Master Race, or run the game in bootcamp. These paying customer's simply want the product they were promised. A fully functional version of FFXIV for Mac OSX.

Thankful for the people that understand what is the real issue of this situation. We all have different - valid - reasons to play on the platforms we prefer, but no one should be okay with how SE has handled this product.

I'm not a Mac owner....

Neither am I, but I am a paying customer and I'm also shocked at the lack of respect some have for other paying customers. What does anyone care which platform the other plays on? The only relevant fact is that SE said they would do something and it didn't end up being as functional as it should have been for the money people paid. That's a big customer service problem and I just don't understand this new generation of customer that is more than happy to let companies get away with selling bad product over and over again, and then comes to the forums to bash other customers for expecting that their money bought them something functional.

This is something that should be addressed regardless of anyone's personal feelings about gaming on macs.

It's because people buy Macs and then expect to game on them, yeah that's never going to happen. I do agree though that a product should work , and I'm sure SE will do something about it.

But for future reference: don't buy a Mac if you game at all, going to save you a lot of hassle. Nothing a Mac can do that a PC can't do. There's no valid reason for buying a Mac other than personal preference (how that even came to be is beyond me, but yeah).

The discussion isn't whether someone bought a Mac for a specific purpose or not. The discussion is about the fact that players bought a specific port of a game and had an expectation that it would work. Personally, I'm in your camp in very *general* terms; I game on PC and have been a PC fangirl since DOS. For gaming, it's the best platform.

That does not in any way invalidate the facts of the case. These folks bought a license for the game with an expectation that it would work on the system it was advertised for, and that is the scope of the discussion. Period.

Let's just play it out here simple.

No, we don't care about Mac vs PC vs Consoles. Get out of here.

The problem lies in the fact that they did a piss poor job at the Mac client(from what I've seen is just a PC client with an emulation layer on it) which runs like complete arse and Mac owners are rightfully pissed that the game they paid for runs like crap when the PC version on near identical hardware(or bootcamped into the exact same existing machine) runs perfectly.

*THAT* is the problem.

If there's a Mac client available, the PC version bootcamped onto my Mac shouldn't run better at all. Period.

With the official post published today, they are basically blaming us and asking us to deal with it.

[KrelianJudah]

They cant "blame us" because the specs they provided TODAAY werent anywhere to be found dureing the preorder time, so they have to refund when asked to.
