Am I the only one who is playing this game on macbook (or Mac)?

[KiriA500]

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.

Ok, stop that. Nobody said you weren't allowed to like your Mac. I was just suggesting that there's nothing about playing on one that makes you special. AT ALL. You even say in your post that you run Windows 7 to play the game. That's the big joke behind why Macs have no games. Congratulations on emulating an Operating System that lets you pretend you're a PC.

On top of that, Apple fans are the most elite of all! You yourself started a thread wanting to know of others who are playing this game on a Mac. I don't recall ever seeing any "HEY PC BROS DO YOU PLAY THIS GAME ON PC??" threads on here.

Like I said before, there's nothing special about owning a Mac (or a PC for that matter). Get over it.

First, it's not emulating Windows. Second, Macs ARE PCs.

True, I worded that incorrectly, sorry. Either way, installing the AWFUL OS defeats the purpose PC vs. Mac arguments. I can install OSX on my PC, I just choose not to, because Windows does everything I need it to.

Don't tell Apple that.

What are you? Some psychic? How do you know that I created this thread simply to feel special? As I said, my intention was to know how many others players use a MAC. That was about it. I don't feel special nor do I think I am better than any of you guys just because I use a mac.

I wanted to know if anybody else uses a mac and then you appear from nowhere and claim that I started this thread just to feel special.

Please, if you don't have anything positive to say, except for creating negative assumptions, then go troll on someone else's topic.

Hey man, all I said was that I like playing games, which OSX is clearly really good at since you have to run Windows to play the game. You're the one who started with the "negativity" by crying about PC elitists. I never once said you weren't allowed to own/like a Mac, I just don't because of the reason that I like gaming.

Let's just say I never tainted this wonderful thread with my "trolling" (protip: not everybody who disagrees with you on the internet is trolling), what would you have accomplished with the information? Maybe...20 people play the game on a Mac. So what? What does that information do for you? Prior to this thread, I had no idea you played on a Mac, nor did you know I played on a PC. I just saw people posting on the forums as Final Fantasy XIV players (well, mostly, lol). The information on what you access the game content is useless. Like I've said before, who cares? I don't care if you play on Mac, you shouldn't care that I play on PC. Computers are computers, yours just runs stuff differently than mine.

What are you? Some psychic?

Sort of. I...see...you getting mad at this reply, because I don't agree with you.

I also see the thread being locked.

I'm like Miss Cleo, only less sassy Jamaican woman, and more Roegadyn Gladiator! CALL ME NAAOOOOO FOR A FREE REEEEEEDIN'!

Uh...actually, in a way it kind of does make him special. The game is developed for Windows and not technically available for Mac in a commercial sense. By asking if anyone else is doing that, he's looking for a small number of other people who run the game the same he does. It would be kind of like asking if anyone else has tried running the game on a PC that was built as a media center, or if they have a multi-monitor setup, or anything else that would be a smaller group. You're drawing a false analogy by saying it would be silly for someone to ask if anyone else is playing on PC, because that information is assumed of everyone automatically, as it's the only platform the game is available on.

That said, all the arguing has definitely turned it into a pointless thread, and if that was the intention all along then yeah, it doesn't really belong.

Except a Mac is a PC. Home PCs, whether they run Windows/OSX/BSD/Linux/Whatever are all PCs. For the last several years they have all been built on the x86 and AMD64 architectures. So a Mac IS a PC. The only real difference in this case, is the OS. So the fact he's running a Windows game under Windows, on a PC does not make him special. Now if he got it working with something under OSX, that might be a different story.

I know all that, which is why my examples were of a media PC and multiple monitors (unusual) rather than, say, a smartphone and a toaster (unique).

You implied he was somewhat special in some regard. He plays FFXIV on Windows on a PC. If he was running it on OSX/Unix, then that would be special.... unless it was something any average OSX/Unix user could do.

And actually, multiple monitors is quite common nowadays.
