Use Wine On For Steam Games Download It For

Ive always been into gaming, but playing Starcraft 2 over and over gets really boring once you think about all the possibilities you would have if Mac ran Windows games natively.

The problem here is: Should I buy a Mac just to install Windows on it (I believe you have to own a copy of Windows, too which costs additional money as well.).

This program also requires you to have a copy of Windows (money).

The wrappers require an installation program like Wine(Skin), Cider, CiderX and so on.

Wine is free, but you still need to have a copy of the game.

Reference: The Sims 3 -- it installs the Windows version of the game with a custom Wine wrapper for running it on OS X.

I dont know what your definition of big games is, but in my mind Civilization V, Counter-Strike, Assassins Creed 2, etc.

Best part about Steam is that if you buy a game, you can download it for Windows andor Macintosh.

Of course, if you were to purchase a Windows PC you would also have to buy Windows.

Oh, and lazycheap game developers of course.

Also the previously mentioned games are pretty much as big as it gets (you could also add WoW and then youd have almost all of them).

But this is an old case, now playing Wow under Linux and Wine is pretty common, so probably will not be any problem with other games too.

Performance issues.

Some games will run fine under emulators, some others not.

Cod 4 2:) Since i got better at cod4 iwanted to move up the ladder and play some MW2:).

Should i just make a steam account and put the game there As i start MW2 from a wrapper it says: Steam should be running, in order for this game to be played.

I installed the english version of the game and am playnning to use it with the russian key code.

I understand why it might not be a solution you like, but its still the simplest one.
