Parallels and VMWare are emulation systems of Windows operating systems and run much slower since they run Mac and Windows OS at the same time. Bootcamp allows users to partition a Windows operating system on their mac, but this takes up some hard drive and every time the user wants to switch operating systems they have to restart their computer. For years now mac gamers have been playing PC games on Boot Camp and Parallels or VMWare. Instead, it was taken into the players hands to make a mac compatible version of the game. Bioware has still not answered the prayers of these players. Due to the popularity of SWTOR, gamers on mac have been dying to play for some time now.
