Sigurd Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Here's my problem : I have at home a Mac, and at work a PC laptop. I'd like to run CMBB on both models. It was possible with CMBO (both PC and Mac versions were provided on the same CD), but no more for CMBB : on the CD I bought from BFC there is only the Mac version. (only one version fits on the CD) So my question is : how can I play CMBB on both PC and Mac computers, without having to pay a second time ? I could imagine the following system : BFC (or CDV, as I live in europe) sends me the PC CD, and I pay only the postal service. To ask such a question, I assume the following : when I pay the 45 $ game licence, it's a personnal licence : I am allowed to play the game, independently from the platform, PC or Mac, or the given computer (if I had two macs, one at home, one at my holyday house, I could play on the two machines). It was the case with CMBO, I think it should be the same for CMBB What do you think ? I'm sometimes away from home (and from my desktop G4) with my laptop, I'd really enjoy continue my CMBB plays on the PC laptop ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baetis Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 yeah, it was tough for me to choose if i'd rather play it on my mac laptop or my pc desktop. in the end the desktop won (its got a Geforce4 ). i guess i won't stop playing CMBO after all...

gibsonm Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Well if you had bought the PC version I'd suggest buying Virtual PC to use on the Mac, but since you bought the Mac version - There seems no alternative but to throw away that Wintel box and fully embrace the superior equipment from the people at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino!!!

jeffsmith Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I too wish we still had the option of playing both PC & Mac versions from one CD source So I am sympathetic but the realites of CD space and economics probably will preclude that, from now on As far as owning a license for the Game I dont know of any company that makes both PC & Mac Games offered on seperate CD's that would provide the alternate version when only the other has been purchased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigurd Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 Perhaps a BFC admin could give us the official policy concerning this matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
