Blizzard stand on Mac Intel Boot Camp

Posted by Medievaldragon | Apr 12, 2006 | Uncategorized | 0 |

Blizzard Entertainment has updated their FAQ page with details of their stand on Apple Mac Intel’s “Boot Camp. Basically, players may use it, but Blizzard won’t offer Tech Support.

Apple’s OS X Boot Camp software lets me boot Windows XP on my Intel-based Mac. Can I run Blizzard games under Windows using Boot Camp on these systems?
Yes, you can if you wish to do so. However, please note that as OS X Boot Camp is in beta form, we can’t offer technical support for Blizzard games run under Windows using Boot Camp at this time.

What is Blizzard’s plan for native Mac OS support, now that Boot Camp is available?
We have a recognized track record of native Mac OS support, and we have no plans to break with that tradition. We understand that our Mac player base prefers native software whenever possible, and our cross-platform development practice addresses that.
