Q: Windows games don't work on mac, but am sure it could!?

A lot of games fan would very much appreciate to play popular games unavailable on mac computers.

Why has Windows access on nearly all games when apple mac is 100times better.(personal opinion)

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), iOS 9.1

    A game written for the Windows operating system cannot run on a Mac unless you partition the drive using Boot Camp.

     

    That's a very involved process just to run a game not to mention the fact that you would have to purchase a Windows install disc.

     

     

    It's up to game developers to offer their games to run in either Mac OS X or Windows.

    Yu can also run Windows via a virtual machine running on top of OSX. There is the free VirtualBox app as well as paid apps. Yu do need to purchase Windows. It is easier to setup a VM and Windows via Boot Camp

    It also has something to do with the type of computer a gamer uses, Most often that would be a computer with upgradable parts like the graphics card so you can keep playing newer games with the "same" computer. Macs are not so versatile in upgrading their individual parts.

    Change is coming since mac and OSX are more used with support for newer and older games on mac. In my opinion it will take a long time before mac will be on the front lines of gaming.

     

    N.B not saying that macs are bad for gaming.

    Thanks for the information very much appreciated.

    I guess I will have to stick with Logic Pro X.

    And wait for PC games to come out on PS4 such as Arma3/4...
