    Yes...I suspect the DMCA/encryption circumvention wouldn't be an issue for personal use. Library of Congress has amended the DMCA for hacking cell phones and I suspect a similar case could be made for the right to circumvent encryption to install legally purchased software on a home built computer. But as noted in the article you linked to, the courts have not really tackled the issue.

    I'm posting from one right now.

    That's neither here or there though, as mentioned before, OSX doesn't compete performance wise, and with the higher-end game market shrinking and millions of people burning cash on iPhone games, why should Apple bother to change that?

    If a OSX version of XIV was profitable, SE would most likely do it.

    Have there been reports of playing on the normal Macbooks?

    Bazaar or retainer management from the Iphone would be cool
    I'd much rather have FFXIV content for android than MAC.

    Seems like another nightmare, they might even need a beta for mac, due to the game being built from the ground up for ps3 and pc.

    Heya!

    I think it will resolve the DirectX Alt-Tab issue, since it would use OpenGL, which is FAR more performant, basing from what I'm seeing around Youtube.

    Anyway, yeah, I'd like a Mac implementation of FFXIV (playing in an iMac 27" right now, BootCamp a go go), but I propose to perform this question after some years, when the game takes foot to the global MMO market, then we can talk about this topic more firmly =)

    Still, there's still hope that a member of the Dev. Team will tell us what they think about the future =)

    See ya!

    Were you saying OpenGL is better performing than DirectX?
