  • 0. Mac OS X 10.7 Support   07/12/2011 02:54:45 PM PDT
This summer, Apple is scheduled to release Mac OS X 10.7, Lion. Due to certain changes in the Mac operating system, StarCraft, StarCraft: Brood War, Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction will not run on Mac OS X 10.7. While these titles should still technically be able to operate under Boot Camp, we will not be able to provide support for these titles running on Mac OS X 10.7. For more information about Mac Boot Camp, please see Apple's website: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

We will continue to offer support for these titles running on Mac OS X 10.6 and below.

At this time, we expect Warcraft III to run on Mac OS X 10.7. However, the updater that we use to apply patches does not work on Mac OS X 10.7 natively, so while a patched-up version of the game will work, you will be unable to patch up to the latest version of the game when running Mac OS X 10.7. We don't currently have a timeline available for when we may be able to release updated patches with a compatible Updater program.

We’ll have more details for our Mac community as Lion's release date draws nearer.

For more information about Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, please see Apple's website: http://www.apple.com/macosx/lion/

Obviously if they could make a new patch for the new OS system, they would have. They are letting us know ahead of time because clearly they can not.

Of course Blizzard® can make new patches for new operating systems.
That does not mean that they want to, especially for "Legacy Games."

Its really annoying that you cannot play games you payed for any more. It doesn't matter that i buyed them.. what is it.. 15 years ago?
You should have enough people to make this game running again on MacOSX. But no. Blizzard is only focusing on ways to make lots of money. Not to keep long time customers.
