So according to you faq on your Kickstarter, this game will only run on windows PC. Unfortunately, I have a mac and don't want to spend 80$ on the parallels software to run a game which I might not even play for very long. I'm asking.... any plans to let this game run on a mac and if not is there any other way that costs less than 80$ to play this game. Was really starting to get excited about this and am sad to have my hopes crushed now :(. Any information given is great thanks for everything.

    So I mentioned that software @xXBeloXx and it costs 80$ which is not something I'm willing to pay...

    I'm pretty sure it's windows only...why don't you just start setting aside a little bit of money here and there 80$ isn't much and the game won't be coming out for another 2 years or so.

    or another suggestion is to install windows on your mac via bootcamp assistant? and dual boot into Windows when you want to run Ashes of Creation.

    You will have to Bootcamp AoC. No way they will have the money and resources to port AoC to Mac.

    As far as I can tell, there are no plans to port to the Mac. It only has a small marketshare (about 4% I believe), which doesn't represent a huge potential userbase when Windows, in various flavours, is over 70% by comparison. It'd be very much a business decision.

    Why not just use Boot Camp?

    Think I will just use boot camp thank you all SO much for all these good ideas. Seriously you're awesome! Also...
    Let's MAKE THIS GAME!

    $80? wtf is wrong with you? my mac is running windows 10 with no issues at all. and I did it for free.
    just get a windows ISO file, preferably from a microsoft store or something, attach a 8GB or more USB and run bootcamp assistant. It'll do the job for you.
