Whoopi Goldberg, known for her acting and hosting skills, made a mistake when she purchased Diablo 4 without checking the supported platforms. While Activision Blizzard has a history of supporting various devices, it seems that some have been left out this time, which may impact the game's reach to the masses. Despite its immediate success and widespread critical acclaim, it is clear that Blizzard could have done better in ensuring that the game is available on all applicable platforms, as Goldberg pointed out.
Whoopi Goldberg's love for the Diablo franchise led to her purchasing a copy of Diablo 4 without first checking if it was compatible with her Mac computer. However, she soon found out that the game would not run on her device, leaving her disappointed. Goldberg took to social media to request that Blizzard work on a port for Mac users, stating her love for the game and her desire to play it on her Apple computer. While it's understandable that Goldberg would be excited for the release of Diablo 4, it's important to note that she did not take the necessary steps to ensure compatibility before making her purchase.
On the other hand, Apple's new game compatibility layer offers a potential solution for Mac users who want to play Diablo 4. The installation process is similar to that of Steam Deck owners, and this is good news for gamers like Goldberg. However, it's unlikely that Blizzard will release a full-fledged port of the game for MacOS in its current state. As a result, Goldberg may not have access to all of the live-service features, but this may not be a concern for her depending on her interests. It remains to be seen how Blizzard will handle the game's temporary content over time and whether FOMO will be used to boost post-launch profits.
Diablo 4 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
