Whoopi Goldberg Demands Diablo IV be Playable on MacOS - New Command Line Tools Have an Answer

wowhead.com:

In an Instagram post earlier today, American actor, comedian, author, and television personality Whoopi Goldberg expressed frustration that she can't play Diablo IV on MacOS, but while the game is not officially supported by Blizzard Entertainment on Mac systems, users of the newest X15 Command Line Tools beta have discovered ways to get the game working!

While the Diablo IV marketing campaign is in full swing, featuring celebrity collaborations with Halsey, Suga, and even Megan Fox, this isn't actually the first time Goldberg has spoken of her love for the series. In a now deleted Tweet from 2012, the celebrity gave a shout out to Blizzard, saying «Got the Diablo3 patch and my wizard is in the Bastions Keep. I'm an AM nerd (wtf is that). Love y'all. Thanks to Diablo and Blizzard folks.» Similarly, while discussing Grand Theft Auto and how its themes may be perceived by children in 2013, The View co-host suddenly exclaimed «See, that's why I play Diablo, because I only kill demons and monsters and stuff! See, that's what I'm cool with,» eliciting laughter from her co hosts and audience alike, though they may not have realized how serious she actually was!

Luckily, MacOS has answers, using its XCode 15 Command Line Tools to play DirectX12 games like Diablo IV on Silicon based Macs (as opposed to Intel based ones) running the latest releases of the Sonoma and Ventura operating systems. A step-by-step guide by Senior C# Developer and former Microsoft Development Engineer Denis Gladkikh, aka Outcoldman, details how to set up Rosetta 2 and the Game Porting Toolkit needed to run Intel-based games that are primarily built for Windows systems on Apple Silicon instead.
