I know alot people love there windows system but i don't and there many that dont care for OS.

Linux is now standing strong as a legitimate gaming platform. It now represents over 2% of all active Steam users. Well 2% is not a game-changing number right now, it is pretty dramatic when you consider a couple of other key things. For one, the mac represents 3.07% of Steam’s userbase. While that number is over 30% greater than Steam for Linux, it means nothing considering Steam for Mac debuted 3 years ago. The first stable release of Steam for Linux debuted last month. So there is money to be made here i love full native client i just dont see it happen. so how about working with wine venders to make good working setup for wine.
My issue with Wine is...well.

A friend of mine knew someone who did their own port of XIV to Wine..and it was terrible...(I play on iMac and MacBook Pro)

I have my macs bootcamped just to play xi and xiv (and I've been dabbling in Tera and other games as well) and it's so much better that way than trying to use Wine. That's my only experience with Wine. so I don't know if it's actually good in some instances or not.

However, I'd love a port to mac....Then I wouldn't even need to have windows...(but I like to have windows just in case anyway D
