Why is wow the only cross platform MMORPG?

I am a proud owner of a macbook pro but sadly wow is the only crossplatform MMORPG right now. I am looking forward to Vanguard, LOTRO, WH, and AOC, but i will have to install windows on my macbook to run these : (

Real life brings repetition and pointlessness too. The only thing real life offers is Great graphics. Its kinda expensive too and way to dependent on the cash shop. Totally pay to win as well. No thank you. Ill stick to my games.

    Not enough Macbook owners are MMO players.... not worth it from a financial standpoint for companies to maintain 2 sets of code....

    Well, WoW isn't the only one. Shadowbane is another off the top of my head. There are a few betas taht are OSX compatible also.

    my guess is the only reason WoW is even for macs is because blizzard has made every single game(as far as i know not sure about starcraft) they have for both windows and macs. Why they do idk but they have so eh..

    Hmmm what did bungie code Marathon for? Anyone old enough to remember Wizardry, Might and Magic, Ultima and Bards Tale (orginals), what about MYST.



    But back to the topic, I do know a few people with Macs running window ems or dual booting and playing PS, don't ask me how but they're doing it.

    512kb Mac to the Classic was the gaming absolutely DOMINATED by Macs. SkyFox, Dark Castle, The Art of War, Winzardy(s), Daleks, and more I can't think of right now.

    people won't admit it but if it wasn't for the Apple (original) and 128kb systems printing game coding in hacker magazines there wouldn't be the PC gaming platform as we know it. Once EGA came most people couldn't play games on a PC due to the complexities of playing with Himen settings alone.

    My mother still uses our old 512k mac and a laserwriter for her writing. I have used macs since forever, but Steve Jobs is a !#$%!@#% jackass.

    Macs make games.  PC's play games
