Please stop posting such question, and especially stop re-posting. This is off-topic and is going to be spam. No more, deal?

Like SAKryukov said in the comment above this is a programming website and this is not a programming question! There is plenty of info about this question online use Google.

As pointed out in solution 1 Windows games will not run natively on Mac OS. Check out
the WINE project you can get a lot of Windows games to run on Mac OS under WINE.

Solution 1

The simple answer is no. At least not natively.
A game purchased for Windows will run on Windows and not a Mac OS. However, it may run within a Windows based virtual machine hosted by the MacOS.

OK, my 5, but I think you should know that: I reported the previous post by OP as off-topic and removed it. OP repeats it again, I don't know exactly how many times (someone else could removed some, too).

I think we should remove such questions, not answering them.

So, what else should I do, report it as spam? I would love to...

It got deleted before and had no reason why it was deleted, so I though it was because I wrote a bad tag for it, so I posted it again with a different tag thing that was right. By the way, it shouldn't of been spam because the question was completely related to programming, pc games have to be programmed and I needed to know so I could see if I kept programming with c# that it will work on the osx
