The iPad does not have enough RAM to run the game. To run the game at 4K on a Windows PC requires 6GB of video memory. The iPad only has 8GB of RAM. The computer still needs 8GB of RAM. The only iPad that could conceivably run it is the iPad Pro models with 1TB or 2TB of storage.

That said. Playing 14 on the iPad would probably not be that fun. You'd either need a controller or you'd need to play it in "strictly mouse" mode. Which that is one way I have played, I usually only completely play that way with crafting because it's too hard to move and cast with just a standard 3 button mouse. So the controller would probably be preferred.

As for Mac support. Well there "IS" a mac version (wine/proton wrapped windows version,) just not good mac version since it's not native.
