So much time that I have spent enjoying Blizzard games. Canceling most of the support for HOTS ? huh? Such a huge fail with Warcraft 3 reforged (even though I like it flaws and all), Diablo 3 was not very good( still don’t understand why people keep playing that game) and Starcraft 2 was just ok…and to top it off abandoning Macs that they have supported for years with Overwatch! Makes my heart hurt. So maybe we will get it on Mac after they make the iOS version.īlizzard…I mean Activision has gone down a dark path that I hope the good developers that are still there can bring them out of (kick the suits out!!!). Probably Overwatch 2 will be on iOS devices since there are more of those than any console. They don’t want to spend the money to modify the engine to export to Mac.

The real reason is that Blizzard is owned by Activision and the only thing that matters is bottom line. My 2017 iMac can run any game I throw at it (in OS X or Bootcamp)…And with an amazing screen that people forget when they see the price for them. Why do PC people bother posting in a Mac forum with such outdated responses? Macs are on par with PCs. I always think it is funny to see all the ' Macs can’t play games ' and ' Macs suck ' comments. Sure a problem may occur if you would have a person with a Macbook Pro and a dedicated GPU, since the game will still run on the Intel Graphics, but still, it would run smooth, cause it’s made for a lower specced machine. Mainly due to the fact that most games that are ported from PC to Macs allow the same type of “change settings to whatever you want” which means the creators of the games didn’t optimize the game for Mac, it simply runs slow and most people just don’t buy it or give up.

They just want the computer for it’s amazing size, batterylife, macOS and buildquality etc but they can’t play games on it. And since I work for an IT-company that sells Mac computers, I can say that ALOT of people want to game on a Macbook Air. If Blizzard want to allow to change settings, just make sure you limit the “max settings”, eg you can change resolution to 1080p maximum.Īlot of people have a Macbook Air, including me, my friends, my parents, my sister and my girlfriend. My point is, if OW can run on Nintendo Switch (280dollar hardware) it can run on a Mac with Intel i5 or better, very optimized. This is the reason it should be very easy to optimize OW for “Macbook Air 2015 or newer/faster Macs” for example, where you as a user can’t change the video settings, just like Nintendo Switch, PS4 or Xbox. Mac is not made for gaming, but they have a fixed lineup compared to PCs where you can use every component combination in the world.
