Playing on Mac after PC?

ty5oke · 01-19-2009, 11:39 PM

I bought OOTP 9 for my PC when it first came out, I now bought a MacBook to replace my PC. Do I have to re-buy the game as a mac version to play?

Yes you do

You can buy the any OS Version but that wasn't out when OOTP9 was first released.

Thanks for the response Boom. Bad news for me, don't really want to drop $40 for the Mac version. Never really got into it after I bought it, because I didn't have time. With my MacBook I was hoping to bring it with me for work.

Can I run the game off my USB drive without installing anything to the PC at work?

I think you can put the data files on a USB drive, but I'm not sure about the game.

Hopefully with v10, the licensing will be cross-platform.

Thanks for the response Tony. I'm hoping it will in 10 as well.

As there hasn't been an update from the OP about the data file on a USB, this thread will be moved to closed for housekeeping.
