I don't buy any of their products anymore. With the last two versions they practically forced you to upgrade because the old Paralells version has some compatibility issues with the new macOS. And I don't want to buy subscription models, I want to buy software. But then I expect it to work properly for more than just 1 year.

Thanks to piracy, subscription models are the only way companies can survive and keep employees. That's the truth when I sit down and think about it. Adobe software would be pirated and they would go out of business. But some companies like BlackMagic still offer a one time purchase option.

Click, click and click, and you will see the non-subscription version is barely under $100 after 25% off. This was the normal price a couple of years ago. Also, I have Parallels Desktop 17 and 19. 19 still has no DirectX 12 support I believe, and I see the same bug, Serious Sam classic still runs like slow-mo, which runs perfectly fine on VMware. I was warned by Parallels Desktop 17 that it's not compatible with macOS Sonoma. Turns out it runs just fine. Looks like the so called incompatibility is about printer, and IMHO should be treated as a bug.

This is an issue I have had with the other brothers in arms (earned in blood) game as well. Have you encountered this issues before? If so, have you got any remedies? Thanks

@Andrew - Like you, I am a fan of CrossOver, especially since Version 24 ... but I have to say Parallels 19 Pro gives CrossOver a run for its money. It's fast. I feel it runs as fast as CrossOver. It runs more apps than CrossOver. I can get PalWorld running on CrossOver but not on Parallels, but I may just need to do a reinstall. But other games run, such as the Mega Man series that won't run-on CrossOver. I am pleased to work with both as each has its benefits. Thank you for your fantastic videos.

@@surfntrucksI mean, a lot of people hate windows/linux. A lot of people just wanna own/carry 1 device. But this is the smart way. And if you think of it, two or three years of subscriptions to Parallels or VMWare or CrossOver equal an entry level SteamDeck for example, and then you can have a portable device that runs a lot of AAA games, instead of just playing the lottery with the mac alternatives. Or just a cheap gaming laptop and you have native support. Mac gaming will never be the thing Apple envisions, because developers don't care. I mean, even now (and this is relevant to mac since all these solutions under the hood have benefited from Wine and Proton) with the push to Proton given by Valve, developers still don't care about Linux, they just expect Proton to be able to magically run their games. I'm afraid this will be the same deal in macOS. Developers will only "hope" for their games to run through whatever wrapper and maybe get those extra 100 users in mac.
